Shoretire has called time on his United career and has signed for Greek side PAOK this week.

"I joined Manchester United as an 11 year old boy with a dream of one day playing in the first team," Shoretire posted on social media, along with a 'thank you' graphic.

"I feel extremely proud to be able to say I have achieved that dream. To make it even more special, I was given the opportunity to represent this club in the premier league and in Europe.

"I'll forever be grateful to the many players, staff members and supporters who have played a massive part in my journey to this point.

"From the first day I arrived at the cliff training ground I have felt at home and part of the MUFC family.

It's been a tough decision for me to leave somewhere that's been all I've known for half of my life but I believe this is the right step for me.

"Once a red… Thank you @manchesterunited!"
