Diego León will travel to link up with Manchester United on July 1st to start his new career in England.
That’s according to VSports Team, who report that the 18-year-old will travel at the beginning of this month after Manchester United signed him from Cerro Porteño. He will get underway at United on a contract that runs until June 2030.
León was the first player targeted by Manchester United in the January transfer window, with a deal quickly wrapped up for the youngster across that month.
Indeed, it was reported that he had completed a medical in the middle of the month ahead of making the ‘dream’ move to Old Trafford.
Reports about the youngster went quiet after that point, with Manchester United’s focus then turning elsewhere and to bigger deals focused on the first-team squad. León is still on his way, though, and will travel on July 1st to link up with his new club.
What happens after that remains to be seen. Amorim has certainly shown now hesitancy to giving youngsters a chance in the first team, so perhaps that will be the case for León before too long.
The whole of Paraguay will certainly be watching their rising star, as explained by Pedro Torres, the man who initially broke the Manchester United story, explained to us back in December.
