Early career

As a child, Shoretire played with Whitley Bay Boys Club, Newcastle City Juniors, Wallsend Boys Club, Hebburn Town and Cramlington Juniors.[3] He was also briefly part of Manchester City's youth setup but left to join rivals Manchester United at the age of nine.[3][4] He quickly rose through the youth ranks, frequently playing a year up. In December 2018, he became the youngest ever player to appear in the UEFA Youth League at the age of 14 years and 314 days.[5] In 2020, after impressing with the under-18s, Neil Wood, coach of the under-23s, handed him his under-23s debut when he was just 16. He scored a hat-trick in a 6–4 win for the under-23s against Blackburn Rovers in February 2021.

Shoretire signed his first professional contract with Manchester United on 8 February 2021, a week after turning 17.[4] 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.[6] 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.[7] For his performances with the youth teams, Shoretire was named the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year for 2020–21.[8]

International career

As Shoretire was born in England to a Nigerian father and English mother, he is eligible to represent both nations at international level.[9]

He made one appearance for the England under-15 team, in a friendly against Belgium in February 2019.[10] He made two appearances for the England under-16 team in August 2019, against Denmark and the Republic of Ireland.[11][12] On 29 March 2021, Shoretire made his debut and only appearance for the England under-18 team during a 2–0 away victory over Wales at the Leckwith Stadium in Cardiff.[10][13]

On 2 September 2021, Shoretire made his debut for England at under-19 level during a 2–0 victory over Italy at St. George's Park.[14] He has made four appearances for the under-19 team.[10]
