"Manchester United building for the future with smart transfer Orozco looks like a fine signing for United as they look to smarten up their recruitment after so much big spending on failed signings in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. MUFC have really gone backwards on and off the pitch, failing to keep up with some of their rivals in terms of recruitment in particular."
"Orozco is the kind of signing one could imagine Brighton making in recent times, with talents like Moises Caicedo plucked from relative obscurity on the cheap before being sold to Chelsea for a major profit. If United can start to find these gems as well, it should do them the world of good as they look to get back to being a force in the game without making so many expensive mistakes in"
Manchester United have sealed the signing of 17-year-old Colombian Cristian Orozco from Fortaleza for a $1m fee, with the contract valid from summer 2026. MUFC lawyers approved all contracts and the deal was coordinated by lead scout Antonaccio. The transfer will take effect in summer 2026. The acquisition forms part of a shift toward smarter, lower-cost recruitment after a period of expensive failed signings following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure. Orozco is viewed as a potential low-risk talent similar to players scouted by Brighton, offering a route back to competitiveness without large transfer mistakes.
