His physique looks powerful enough to me!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Physicality really isn’t that big a deal for a player of his type even in the pl. Look at City and Liverpools attacking players. None of their attacking midfielders are physically imposing. He’s not slow either.

I was really hoping to see him get some minutes and be around the first team. He'll be 19 soon so a loan would've been a better decision.

I appreciate Shola is very much a wide forward and not a number 9 but given he’s been in the first team squad for a while now and got 90 minutes (combined) over the two winter friendly matches recently, is he arguably next in line to help out the forwards if we can’t get anyone in next month?
I’ve not been following his development lately and I’m aware the club had planned a loan for him this season however he picked up an injury just before the deadline.
He’s a goalscorer though and has been playing up an age group at every level now.

He has been at the same level for about three years. Nothing to see here. Still miles off a place in the first team.

Shola seems to be an intelligent and cute little player but these traits aren't good enough to compensate for his lack of standout physicality or intensity.

Hopefully his loan goes the same as that of Amad.

Good luck to the lad - havent seen much from him to suggest a UTD regular but hopefully he proves his doubters wrong.

I remember him making his debut when he was 17. According to many reports he's highly regarded in the academy but I havet noticed him in the U-23s? he's almost 19 now so swim or sink for him. We got plenty of players in his position so if he's going to make it here he needs to start with a really good impression on this loan.
Good luck to the lad!

He's been talked about so much for so long it's hard to believe he's still only 18. Will be following this loan closely. Hope it goes well for him.

It's a big step down based on his reputation over the last few years as the next wonderkid but the right move none the less. Great at academy level but seemed to have plateaued too soon.
How many players have we loaned out to league 1 clubs who've eventually become regulars in first team? Beckham comes to mind and that's about it.

I’d say he definitely was when he was 15. I remember he came on in a UEFA Youth League game at that age. Still very young and has wonderful touch and vision. ETH apparently rates him highly too. Will be a very interesting loanHas he ever really been described as a wonderkid?

Running the show today for Bolton. Everything that’s happening is going through him. Our young loan players this season are doing decent.
Box to box AM is he ?

Won a pen today and generally seems to be impressing, despite having not scored yet.

Great to see he's doing very well and it's important he already looks a class above in League One. Right age for him to be the star man of the team and grabbing as many minutes as possible already eyeing Premier League football next season. Hope he keeps it up, I remember him from the youth teams and he's a FM staple.

Very encouraging signs to be fair. Looks very good in those clips and good to see him getting stuck in with a tough tackle too.
Back in the starting XI today for Bolton. Hopefully it's a good sign and he keeps getting starts in the playoffs too.

How has Shore Ray Tear Ray been doing on loan?
Despite one poster's constant jibes at Shoretire "struggling to get minutes at Bolton", Shola actually did really well in his first four months in first team football. At least two more big games coming up.
That's the top 5 teenagers in League One in terms of minutes played.
