Shola Maxwell Shoretire is an English professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Eredivisie club PEC Zwolle, on loan from Super League Greece club PAOK. Shoretire signed his first professional contract with Manchester United on 8 February 2021, a week after turning 17. On 21 February 2021, he made his first-team debut for United as an 88th-minute substitute for Marcus Rashford in a 3–1 home league win over Newcastle United. Four days later, he became United's youngest player to make an appearance in a European competition, coming on as a substitute for Mason Greenwood in a 0–0 home draw against Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League at the age of 17 years and 23 days, beating the record set by Norman Whiteside 38 years earlier by 108 days. As Shoretire was born in England to a Nigerian father and English mother, he was eligible to represent both nations at international levels. In August 2019, Shoretire represented England under-16 against the Republic of Ireland.
