Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes signs Manchester United youngster

Manchester United youngster Shola Shoretire has been signed by Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes, joining team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo in now being represented by Polaris Sports.

Shoretire, who turned 18 earlier this year, has shared the news on his Instagram page, uploading a screenshot of Polaris Sports announcing their latest addition. The Lisbon-based agency is a leading company in athlete image rights representation, being in the market for more than 15 years, representing some of the most successful athletes and sport personalities across the globe, including Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo and former United striker Falcao.

The move suggests that Mendes, who has had close ties with United over recent years, is a big fan of Shoretire's talent. The youngster, who joined United at the age of just nine-years-old, has made five first-team appearances for the club so far, with his most recent coming on the final day of the 2021/22 season against Crystal Palace last month.
