Former Premier League stars kick off in Baller League: who will play.

According to The Sun: Former Manchester United player topped the list of ex-Premier League prospects who joined Baller League.

This tournament in a six-player format started in Germany last year and received support from stars like Mats Hummels and Lukas Podolski.

Many renowned players from Germany, the UK, and the USA participated in the first season of the tournament. Among them were former top division stars such as Henri Lansbury, Marvin Sordell, and Jordan Ibe.

New additions in season two

The second season promises to welcome even more stars who previously played for Premier League clubs.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, 28 years old, was one of the most notable players in the draft, making his debut for United in November 2015 under coach Louis van Gaal.

He came on as a substitute in the match against West Brom, where United won 2-0 at Old Trafford. Due to injuries in the team, he played ten matches in the Premier League, as well as participating twice in the FA Cup and once in the Champions League, spending 47 minutes in a 3-2 defeat to Wolfsburg.

Borthwick-Jackson left United in 2020 after losing his place in the team. Since then, he has played for Oldham Athletic, Burton Albion, Slavia Wroclaw, and Ross County. He is currently the 26th pick in the draft, joining M7 FC.

Nile Ranger, 34 years old, a product of Newcastle United, also became a Baller League player, taking the 33rd spot and joining N5 FC. The forward played 26 matches in the Premier League but never scored a goal.
