Young duo will be involved at Wolves
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told us he expects Hannibal and Shola Shoretire to be involved on the final day of the Premier League season at Wolves.
The boss, speaking to club reporter Mark Sullivan at the Aon Training Complex, suggested he would reward the teenagers for their work in the Under-23s.
Hannibal, still only 18, won the Denzil Haroun Reserve-Team Player of the Year award on Thursday and the creative midfielder could be primed for a senior debut.

Shoretire made his debut in the win over Newcastle United in February, coming on as a substitute for Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford,
He also appeared against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, as the Reds took another step towards the big one with Villarreal in Gdansk next Wednesday, and was named Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year on Friday.
