The recruitment director Another highly regarded South American talent is expected to join Manchester United thanks to Christopher Vivell. United’s scouting network has a long history of successfully keeping an eye on a vast amount of potential worldwide. However, following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partial ownership, the Premier League’s biggest clubs have increased their attempts to attract young, talented players.
Diego Leon, a full-back with Cerro Porteno of Paraguay, signed a pre-contract deal with United earlier this year. For an initial payment of £3 million and performance-based add-ons of £3.6 million, the Red Devils were able to sign the Paraguay U20 international.
The 18-year-old was a member of Ruben Amorim’s preseason squad and officially joined the Manchester City team early in the summer. Twice this season, he has been part of the matchday squad, although solely as an unutilized substitute.
According to a tweet by Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, Manchester United has agreed to sign 17-year-old Colombian Cristian Orozco from Rojo F.C., following INEOS’ strategy of scouting for young potential.
Cristian Orozco reaches agreement to join Man United
A Colombian superstar is expected to join Leon as he gets used to life in Manchester. Colombian writer Pipe Sierra claims that United and Fortaleza CEIF have signed a preliminary deal to sign Cristian Orozco.
Currently, the Bogotá-based squad competes in Colombia’s highest football league, CategorÃa Primera A. The 17-year-old, who plays defensive midfield, is the captain of the Colombian under-17 team. The right-footed midfielder’s ability to win duels and his unwavering work ethic have drawn attention.
Sierra claims that once Orozco reaches 18 in July of next year, he will go to Manchester to officially join United. A dynamic midfielder who can put out fires and receive the ball in confined places is desperately needed for Amorim’s team.
However, it is reasonable to anticipate that Orozco is unlikely to be a solution to United’s long-standing problems in the center of the park anytime soon given his age and lack of experience.
