Congrats @chattichattichatta, you must be so proud.
Delighted for him! Him and Amad getting debuts within the same week.

If he's really Shola's dad then he must be the happiest dad on earth right now.
Too old, shift him on.
Seriously, good to see him get a chance, been playing well for the u23s

Congrats @chattichattichatta. The first of many, I'm sure!
big time!
Having only now found out he's a Geordie, the big question is is he named after Newcastle legend Shola Ameobi?
None better than @chattichattichatta to confirm...
I took one for the team and made it happen, pulled some strings.
Well done @chattichattichatta 's lad! We have now won every single game Shola Shoretire has played for Manchester United lets keep that going!
lets keep that going!Ole knows how to spin it with an awful game , especially in the first half. However great for Shola to get his debut, hope that gives him that extra bit of motivation to keep working hard and get into the first team on regular basis in the next few season..
Like a man amongst boys out there tonight
Delighted for him, especially after the stick he got from some top scouts on here earlier in the season

More of him please in EL. Not much time today to see his abilities in proper use.
Good reward for the lads recent form. Don't think he's ready for much senior football just yet but it'll tell him if he works hard it'll get recognised.
He even fixed our chaotic defense, not a single goal conceided with him on the pitch!Well done @chattichattichatta 's lad! We have now won every single game Shola Shoretire has played for Manchester United
i got your point over the last few days. I’m glad ole is giving the younger lads some minutes this season. It’s one of the coolest things about supporting United
Congrats to the kid and his family. Debut at OT at the age of 17, stuff of dreams!
Big moment for him. A few more hours lifting weights in the gym, and he should be ready
I agree. Glad Shoretire got on, looked good.i got your point over the last few days. I’m glad ole is giving the younger lads some minutes this season. It’s one of the coolest things about supporting United
Great to see him getting his 1st team debut.
Hopefully starts on Thursday night alongside Amad and a few other of our other youngsters.

hopefully his younger brother is named Sammy.
Complete babyface, he looks 13.
I'll leave that to the sports scientists to say when to start with that.. just let him physically mature first he only turned 17 this month
Congratulations @chattichattichatta
So what's he like a player and what positions does he play?
Very happy for him. Nice touch by Ole...one for the future hopefully and gives the U23s evem more inspiration.
He's obviously regarded extremely highly within the club considering the immediate promotion to first team training and now a subs appearance after signing the contract, perhaps even held back a bit just to wait until it was official so as not to put him on display? whatever the case it's always great to see academy lads break through so hopefully this isn't the last time we see him this season, congrats.
Replacing an academy player in Rashford was clearly a very deliberate choice. Nice touch.
He's going to get an extra sticker on his star chart after tonight.
Well done.
Expect jokes about Harvey

Considering he's 12 years old it's a high possibility
I kept wondering that.
Why?
Sho - re - ti - re
Both instances of re and the one instance of ti are pronounced like the musical notes re and ti basically. Weirdly enough, if you know your music, the tonality is actually weirdly as per those notes!

Is he? Wow congrats to him!
Congrats @chattichattichatta, huge day for Shola and your family. Tell him Redcafe are delighted to see one of our own come through like that.
