United finally got their first win in Europe this season on Thursday night, when they beat PAOK 2-0 at Old Trafford.
The game was really great because young Amad Diallo scored both goals, but there was also a very important moment in extra time when former United player Shoretire got angry with Casemiro for a bad hit.
After the game was over, the two guys ran into each other again in another awkward situation.
When the game was over, Shoretire went up to his old friends to say hello and congratulate them on the win. But United defender Lisandro Martinez grabbed him and told him to go apologize to Casemiro.
The fight between the two players happened in the third minute of extra time at the end of the second half. Shoretire hit Casemiro with the follow through after he hit the ball.
Right away, the Brazilian fell to the ground in pain. He then got up and yelled at Shoretire until his partner Mason Mount and referee Radu Petrescu broke up the fight.
And when Martinez tried to get the two of them together after the game so that the 20-year-old could say sorry, Casemiro seemed to blank the two men at first. However, they ended up shaking hands.
Shoretire joined United’s youth program in 2013 and played for the first team for three years. He then left over the summer when his contract ended to sign a four-year deal with PAOK.
In Febzuary 2021, just days after making his adult debut at age 17, the forward made history by becoming the youngest player to play for Manchester United in a European game. He did this in a 4-0 win over Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
Seartire said before his return to Old Trafford, “It’s an amazing feeling to be back.” Being able to play against them was a big surprise, but it’s great to be back.
“It was hard to leave, but I thought it was the right time for my career.” I’m happy with how things have gone so far at PAOK. It seemed like a great club to join.
