    He’s a good candidate to come back to MLS, like Kyle Duncan, I think he could find significant playing time.

    I think his best move is to move/get loaned the Miazga way.

    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.

    2 years ago, I thought he was the 3rd best out of his U17 WC team. Behind Pulisic and Wright.

    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.

    You are correct about Wright. Soon after when Olosunde turned 18, he signed with MU.

    Sure. But how good is he right now? Some U17 players progress, some don't.

    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.

    I thought he played most if not all the games. I guess I would need to check.

    He played, just not that well.

    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.

    Imagine how shocked he was when he got the call.

    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.

    This roster looks to be something I would come up with.

    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.

    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.

    If he goes to MLS his potential will die.... just like Brooks Lennon.

    Lennon is 20 years old and is a full starter for RSL. Yeah, his career's over.
