Medical passed as Ruben Amorim gets first Manchester United signing

Left-back Diego Leon has passed his medical after Manchester United agreed to bring the defender to the club and make him the first signing under boss Ruben Amorim

Leon, who was born in 2007, only made his senior debut for Cerro Porteno in August, but His rise has been rapid since then and he has started 18 league games now this season after breaking into the team. It has lead United to join a host of sides in the race to sign him

It had been claimed that Manchester United were in talks over a deal for the star, but now, According to the Sun the 17-year-old has agreed to join United from July 2025 when he turns 18. The highly-rated teenager is set to join the Red Devils for an initial $4 million (£3m), with up to $4m in add-ons.

And the Sun now says that Leon has already passed his mecial.

His manager Manolo Jimenez has heaped praise on the young talent and expressed his delight he is set for a big move to Old Trafford – He told Versus: “Manchester United have seen in him what I saw, what my teammates saw, I am honestly very happy that this signing can be completed. I hope everything goes well for him in everything that comes.

“He’s a prototype of a full-back in many attacking conditions, with his age, he still has time to improve in his defensive aspect, which is what he has to grow. Surely in Manchester they will give him the right job so that he can develop.

“The day he’s clear about his decision-making, he will be a great player and won’t make mistakes that can’t be criticised. But [these] are typical for his age and his inexperience.”

Is Leon a target for Manchester United or Ruben Amorim? the Portuguese boss is surely keen on adding players that he wants in the side and not the board.

Leon is a talent, that is clear to see, but at the end of the day, United need players that will make an impact now and not in a few seasons, right now, there is no need to sign the wonderkid and this deal will probably be pointless
