How Shoretire could make United history in Turin

The forward only turned 17 earlier this month and recently signed his first professional contract with his boyhood club.

After being named in a 22-man squad for the trip to Turin, the homegrown Academy product will hope to get a taste of the action at the Allianz Stadium in the first leg of the round-of-32 encounter.

According to our research, Shoretire would replace Norman Whiteside as the youngest-ever Red to appear in a European game.

The Northern Irishman was 17 years and four months old when playing in a goalless draw against Valencia in the UEFA Cup at Old Trafford in 1982, after becoming the youngest player at a World Cup finals earlier that year.
