Manchester United are set to sign Fortaleza teenager Cristian Orozco as part of their youth focused rebuild, with Fabrizio Romano reporting the defensive midfielder will travel to England shortly to finalise a transfer that will see him officially join the club once he turns 18 in June 2026. United will pay around one million dollars to Fortaleza, continuing Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s push for high upside prospects instead of costly superstars. Orozco follows earlier moves for Diego Leon and Sekou Kone as United plan for life after Casemiro while Mainoo struggles for minutes under Ruben Amorim, putting long term succession planning at the heart of their recruitment.

Mainoo reportedly sought a loan move before the window shut, but United blocked it. Napoli showed interest and could revisit in January. With United balancing Profit and Sustainability pressures, insiders believe the youngster’s future hinges on whether he gets more minutes soon.
