He’s a good candidate to come back to MLS, like Kyle Duncan, I think he could find significant playing time.
What Olosunde's best move is depends on how good he is, something that is difficult to ascertain while he's playing in the obscurity of the English U23 league.
May be there is something wrong with my memory, but I think he had a poor WC. I'm pretty sure that Wright had a poor WC.
True, his first contract was for the U19 team and 4 months later he was playing with the U23, not sure if he signed a new contract or an extension to his original one.
Yes, and Wright signed out with Schalke and had a very good first year. But at WC I remember De la Torre, Perez, and that Dallas kid that switched to Mexico, but not Olosunde.
he's still a year and a half away from approaching the mukwelle akale purgatory, but he needs a loan next season, if he's to progress his career.
Olosunde was THE surprise inclusion in the USMNT's roster for Bolivia. Big props for the kid! I didn't see this coming but it's his chance to showcase himself.
Now, this is a BIG surprise. I have been following the kid for a while but I thought he wouldn't get a call until he would go out on loan away from MANU.
And there is the added bonus of being home, after being away for long enough to pick up a Mancunian accent. “I don’t really want that accent. I’m not going to lie,” he said with a laugh.
Sounds like #RBNY is back in on former Academy product and current Manchester United defender Matthew Olosunde. Denis Hamlett was at USMNT training in Philly Fri and head scout Ben Ehresmann will be at tonight's friendly vs. Bolivia.— Dylan Butler (@Dylan_Butler) May 28, 2018 Olosunde getting scouted, wouldn't mind him getting some first team minutes at NYRB.
You get the feeling that his cameo vs Bolivia was a classic "shop window" moment. An Antonee Robinson-esque loan would be perfect, although I wouldn't object to a RBNY one while Kyle Duncan is still hurt.
