"Manchester United's long-term defensive midfield solution could come in the form of future Colombian arrival Cristian Orozco. The 17-year-old is heavily linked with an Old Trafford switch and is tipped to join the Red Devils next summer upon turning 18. FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP) rules prohibit English clubs signing teenagers from overseas before their 18th birthday, meaning fans will have to wait until next July for him to officially become a Man United player."
"The teenager could be in for a surprise due to recent developments at the club's Carrington training base. According to a report from The Athletic, Man United's 50 million training ground revamp has not factored in the U21s and U18s.

Cristian Orozco is a 17-year-old defensive midfielder currently playing for Fortaleza in Colombia and is linked with a move to Manchester United when he turns 18 next July under FIFA RSTP rules. FIFA regulations prevent English clubs from signing overseas teenagers before their 18th birthday, delaying any official transfer until then. Orozco is likely to begin his Manchester United integration with the club's academy and Under-21 setup depending on his development. Manchester United's Carrington training ground is undergoing a 50 million revamp that does not include U21s and U18s, with academy players temporarily housed in cabins in the players' car park rather than sharing senior dressing rooms and treatment facilities.
