Samuel Lusale goodbye to Crystal Palace
Samuel Lusale is now officially a Manchester United player, with the club naming him on the academy squad list, over the weekend, along with full-back James Overy.
Lusale has now posted on Instagram to say goodbye to Crystal Palace and thank them for the role they played in his development.
He wrote: “My journey with Crystal Palace comes to an end and a new door opens. I will always remember the memories I made at Palace, and without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. But now, we move on to the next chapter.”
A further post confirming his move to United is expected to follow – but the club have made it official already on the squad list.
Lusale impresses for Slovakia
Samuel Lusale will now join up with Manchester United’s under-18s side, and hopefully won’t take too much time to get up to speed.
Lusale starred during the international break for Slovakia’s under-18s team, playing his first match in three months.
In their clash against Wales, Lusale scored one goal and provided an assist, showing his quality, a day before his 17th birthday.
The journey to stardom at Old Trafford is not easy, and Lusale should be applauded for taking on the challenge. We wish him well.
