"EXCLUSIVE: Cristian Orozco, on his way to England as he's signing at Manchester United. $1m deal sealed with Fortaleza for the Colombian midfielder. He's now travelling to Manchester with Lead Scout Giuseppe Antonaccio, Romano posted. Who is Manchester United's latest signing Cristian Orozco? Orozco is not yet the biggest name in world football, so some United fans might be a little underwhelmed by this deal for now, and it might be some time before we see the Colombian youngster playing for the club's first-team."
Manchester United have agreed a $1m transfer to sign 17-year-old Colombian midfielder Cristian Orozco from Fortaleza. Orozco is travelling to England to finalise the move and is pictured travelling with lead scout Giuseppe Antonaccio. The teenager is highly rated in South America and plays as a defensive midfielder. United expect he may require time before reaching the first team but hope the club has identified a long-term prospect. The deal mirrors a model of acquiring young, affordable South American talent for development and potential future profit, similar to past pathways executed by clubs like Brighton and Bournemouth.
