But he has opted to move to Greece with Super League side PAOK.
Footage has now emerged of Shoretire arriving in Greece to complete his transfer.
PAOK are the reigning champions, having pipped AEK Athens to the title last season.
They will compete in the Champions League next term, and have former Premier League stars William Troost-Ekong, Jonny Otto and Baba Rahman among their ranks.
Shoretire made five first team appearances for Man Utd – four of which came under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
He did not feature at all under Erik ten Hag, leading to his United exit.
