CONFIRMED: Manchester United seals first signing of the season following the expected arrival of youngster this week
Manchester United are set to introduce yet another youth signing to their ranks after completing the capture of James Overy earlier in the campaign – with Reading star Camron Mpofu reportedly on his way to Old Trafford at the age of just 15.
The Red Devils are expected to undergo a huge rebuild when it comes to their first-team in the summer, with the likes of Casemiro, Marcus Rashford and more being tipped with moves away from the club as INEOS get to work on replenishing the first-team squad.
But thinking long-term, there is also a need to bring in youth players on the cheap so that they can either excel in United’s development squads or be sold for ‘pure profit’ fees in the future.

And, with that in mind, Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst claims that Mpofu is on his way into the Red Devils set up with the finishing touches of a deal close. His report states that United are expected to sign Mpofu from Reading, though a thorough Premier League process must be ‘navigated’ before a deal for the 15-year-old goes through.
Mpofu can represent either England or Scotland at youth level, and made his debut for the Tartan Army under-16 squad against Spain back in April; but until he makes a competitive appearance for the first-team, he is free to meander between youth teams before he makes his choice.
