Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has named two Nigerian-born defenders, Habeeb Ogunneye and Maximillian Oyedele in United’s pre-season friendly match against Rangers.
It will be played on Saturday afternoon at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium.
Young Defenders Stepping Up
Both players featured in United’s 0-1 defeat to Rosenborg in their first friendly match of the summer.
Ogunneye took the place of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Oyedele entered the field replacing Casemiro at the half time interval.
In other reports from Sportsbuddy, Manchester United are on verge of completing a move for Arsenal’s teenage striking weapon Chido Obi-Martin who is 16 years of age.
