If there is one thing we know from Amorim’s time at Sporting CP, it is that he isn’t afraid to give youngsters a run out.
Thus, don’t put it past the Portuguese tactician from signing talented youngsters who can create an impact at Man Utd. For now, it may seem as the best solution because the star names are not performing.
As per The Daily Mail, one player that Man Utd are close to signing is young left-back Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno. The player’s move to England is pending a medical which is scheduled to take place some time next week.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano last month, the entire deal inclusive of initial fee, addons and player performace related bonuses is around £6.8m.
The Red Devils have identified potential in the player and don’t mind spending the money to bring him in.
