Ruben Amorim's first signing is done! Man Utd secure £3m deal to sign Diego Leon in 2025 as teenage Paraguayan puts pen to paper

According to Fabrizio Romano, 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.

United have been on the lookout for a new left-back due to the injury issues of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia over the past 18 months. And now they are bringing in a talented full-back who could solve those issues in the future. Amorim has been linked with a reunion with some of his old Sporting CP players at Old Trafford but Leon may be the first to arrive at the club during the Portuguese's tenure.

Leon was born in Colonia Yguazu, Paraguay, on April 3, 2007. He is primarily a left-back but can also play as a left wing-back. The youngster has made 21 appearances for Porteno this season, scoring two goals in the process.

Aside from this reported transfer news, Amorim will be focusing on securing United a victory at Old Trafford when Bournemouth visit them on Sunday in the Premier League.
