Transfer Activity
Signing of Diego Leon
Manchester United is set to complete its first signing under new head coach Ruben Amorim, with 17-year-old left-back Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno expected to join the club soon. The deal, worth €4 million plus bonuses, has been virtually concluded, and Leon is scheduled to undergo his medical and meet the team in Manchester on January 11, 2025. Although he will not sign a contract until he turns 18 in April, the club is optimistic about his potential and plans for him to quickly integrate with the Under 20s and eventually the first team[2][4].
Marcus Rashford’s Transfer Speculation
There has been speculation about Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United, with some reports suggesting he might be involved in a transfer deal. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has clarified that any talk of Rashford leaving is unfounded. Instead, there are rumors of a reunion between Rashford and Dele Alli, but these remain speculative and not confirmed[4].
