Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt has called on his players to make more space for Manchester United loanee Shola Shoretire to help aid his impact in matches.
Shoretire moved to Bolton in January with Erik ten Hag sending him out to gain more first-team football experience. So far, the 19-year-old winger has made four appearances in League One for Wanderers.
However, despite scoring five goals in the Premier League 2 for United this season, Shoretire has yet to get off the mark in the third tier. Ahead of the trip to Peterborough United on Saturday, Evatt outlined a challenge for his team to help his loanee flourish.

Speaking in a pre-match press conference, the former Blackpool and Chesterfield defender said: "You could see last week [vs Cheltenham Town] that Shola was doing everything he could to get some space, but there just wasn’t any when you had 10 men behind the ball. We have to ask ourselves, how do we create space for him?
"And I think having been through that, we can figure it out. That is the next step in this team’s evolution.
"Shola has shown bright moments in all three games so far, he really is a talented young player, and he will learn from that game and add it to his repertoire." Shoretire faced Bolton earlier this season for United's U21s in the Papa John's Trophy.
Although the young Reds lost 4-0 that night, Evatt was clearly impressed with the winger's outing.
