Mirror: Manchester United stars surprised as the club's fastest player wasn't handed professional contract

Manchester United players are reportedly shocked, as forward Deji Sotona, who proved himself to be the fastest player at the club, hasn't been handed a professional deal yet. The 17-year-old was clocked at a speed of 22.9mph when he took part in tests with the first-team back in September, and he became eligible for a professional contract when he turned 17 in December. However, after five months Sotona is still regarded as a scholar by the club, which means he could be approached by other sides who would offer him better deal. According to The Athletic, a number of Bundesliga clubs are said to be monitoring Sotona's situation and they could potentially consider a move to make him the latest player spirited away from English football to Germany. The youngster has been a regular in the Under-18 Premier League this season, while he also netted United's winner in their FA Youth Cup clash against Wigan at Old Trafford in February.
