Manchester United set to announce another transfer
Manchester United is set to sign Colombian teenager Cristian Orozco, who will join the club's Under-21 academy. The move is part of the club's strategy to recruit young international talent following changes to post-Brexit transfer regulations.
Why it matters
It illustrates how major football clubs are adapting their scouting and recruitment networks to navigate new international labor and transfer laws.
Manchester United will formally announce Cristian Orozco's transfer when his move is completed next week. United are close to finalising deals for Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow, but Orozco's signing will also be announced. Santos and Darlow are signings for the first team, while Orozco will join up with the Under-21s as he settles in Manchester. Orozco will celebrate his 18th birthday on Monday, when United can formally register him as a player. He has already arrived in England in order to acclimatise and be ready to start this week.
