Leeds United's Clarke Oduor, a 20-year-old Kenyan footballer, will make history by facing Manchester United in a pre-season friendly on July 17, 2019, at the Optus Stadium in Burswood, Australia.

Clarke Oduor, born on June 25, 1999, started his football career at Leeds United's academy and signed a professional contract with the senior team in 2017, donning the number 54 shirt.

He made his senior debut for Leeds United in January 2019, coming on as an 85th-minute substitute during a defeat to Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup third round.

Just a month later, Oduor signed a contract extension with Marco Bielsa's side, seeing his deal extended until 2020, with the option of extending for another year.

Clarke Oduor's impressive skills have earned him a spot in Bielsa's 16-man team for the pre-season tour of Australia.
