Olosunde made Manchester United’s provisional squad for Premier League matches on two occasions last season, and is hoping to make his professional debut for the first team in the new season.

Olosunde told Trentonian Soccer.”It was my first full season playing with the (under) 23, it was pretty great.

”I really enjoyed it and had a pretty successful season for the most part. I really grew as a player and being able to get called up to the first team a couple times was a great experience.”

He added : ” To make my debut, I hope to achieve that this season. If I can make a couple more appearances after that and maybe stay as a steady option for the first team.”
