Manchester United have had two of their youngsters grab call-ups to their national team a further boost that the club are doing something right with the development of young talent.
Recently it announced that Godwill Kukonki has been approached by DR Congo’s national team to represent them on the national stage.
This opened the door for more opportunities for the defender, as despite being born in England and being eligible to play for The Three Lions, he could also play for Congo, especially with him having yet to receive a call up to the England nation team at youth level.
Now, Academy Scoop has reported that Kukonki has made his decision, accepting who he’s represent by joining the England Under-17s squad as they face the Netherlands in Portugal.
However, he’s not alone in travelling to Portugal, with fellow Manchester United defender Jayden Ngwashi also receiving a call-up.
Ngwashi has already made two appearances for England’s Under-17s side back in November as they took on Belgium twice in three days with an aggregate score of 3-2 to Belgium.
However, prior to his England Under-17s call-up, Ngwashi represented Italy’s Under-16s side in 3-1 loss to the Netherlands in October 2023.
The games are set for 20th February 2025 and 23rd February 2025, with the pair heading off to the England camp next week.
