Man Utd's new signing becomes 'most popular player' in dressing room as Red Devils first-team squad warm to 'little brother' arrival

The Red Devils have signed Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon this summer in a bid to improve the squad. Leon is arguably the least well-known of the quartet but is already making waves at United. According to the Daily Mail, the 18-year-old has quickly impressed his new team-mates and is already well-loved in the dressing room despite not being able to speak English yet.

Manchester United's more experienced players have been quick to look after Leon and have become "fiercely protective" of the young star. The club's Spanish speakers have also been helping the teenager to adapt to life in a new country and a new league following his arrival from Cerro Porteno in his native Paraguay. Leon lacks top-level experience and is clearly one for the future at United, but he has featured in pre-season for the Red Devils and will be hoping for first-team minutes and the chance to impress in the 2025-26 campaign.

A source told the Mail: "He’s like a little brother to a lot of these guys. They are giving him a bit of stick, having a laugh, but they are fiercely protective over him and are really looking after him."

Ruben Amorim's United side are currently preparing for an opening Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday.
