Manchester United
September 2025
United sealed a pre-contract with 17-year-old Colombian Cristian Orozco, who joins once he turns 18, and handed a trial to Senegal U17 captain Mouhamed Dabo. Both moves underline United’s bid to reshape midfield depth for the present and future. Orozco impressed at the CONMEBOL U17 Championship, earning comparisons to Diego Leon’s pathway at Old Trafford. Dabo, admired for leadership qualities, continues United’s African scouting push following Sekou Kone’s arrival. Midfield frailties, plus Casemiro’s suspension, made reinforcements urgent for Ruben Amorim.
