FIFA U20 World Cup: Super Eagles legend Garba Lawal says Success Makanjuola deserves to start against Ukraine


Former Super Eagles utility player Garba Lawal has told www.tribalsports.net that Flying Eagles gifted winger Sucess Makanjuola deserves to be in the starting line up in against Ukraine



The Nigerian team will face Ukraine in the final game of Group D of the ongoing FIFA U20 tournament taking place in Poland.


It is a must win game for Paul Aigbogun and the lads but Garba believes that Makanjuola has what it takes to be in the starting line up.


"Considering what the regular starter has offered,  I watched closely in the two matches to know he has something different as a natural left footed player.


The former FC Roda player concluded by saying, "Don't forget he is the only left footed player  among all the wingers in the team so, he can use that to help the team now that they need to win their last game to qualify."
