Zimbabwean football fans have started calling on Manchester United youngster Camron Mpofu to represent the Warriors.
The teenager recently caught attention after scoring for Manchester United’s juniors during their impressive 5-0 victory over Wolves.
Mpofu’s goal has now sparked fresh conversations about his international future.
The youngster was born in Scotland, where his mother is from, but has Zimbabwean heritage through his father.
Consequently, Zimbabwe supporters are hoping the country can convince him to choose the Warriors.
Fans want Zimbabwe to make a move
Makomborero Muimukulu was among those who highlighted Mpofu’s potential international eligibility.
He took to social media to encourage the Zimbabwean football authorities to explore the possibility.
“Apongozi there is a boy called Camron Mpofu coming through the ranks at the greatest team in the world. He was born in Scottland, where his mother hails from, to a Zimbabwean father. He is eligible to play for Zimbabwe. Can Zifa tempt him? Its a long shot but”
His comments quickly resonated with Zimbabwean football supporters.
Many fans now hope the Zimbabwe Football Association can establish contact with the young Manchester United prospect.
Mpofu’s rise attracts attention
Mpofu’s development at Manchester United makes his international situation particularly interesting for Zimbabwe.
The youngster is progressing through the famous English club’s youth system.
Therefore, his performances could continue attracting attention from supporters across Zimbabwe.
His latest goal against Wolves provided another reminder of his attacking potential.
However, convincing him to represent Zimbabwe could prove difficult.
Mpofu has strong Scottish connections through his birthplace and mother.
At the same time, his Zimbabwean heritage gives the Warriors a potential opportunity.
For now, Zimbabwe fans can only hope ZIFA explores every possible avenue.
If Mpofu continues developing at Manchester United, his international future could become an increasingly important discussion.
