Manchester United set to complete first signing under Ruben Amorim

Manchester United are keen on signing a new left-back and have now opened talks with Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno over the signing of their talented fullback Diego Leon. 

The 17-year-old only recently made his debut in August and has established himself as a first-team player. He stands out for his incredible offensive potential, evident in the two goals he has scored in nine games.

The acquisition of a new left-back has always been an agenda for Manchester United, with the incessant injury problems to their two senior players in the position, Luke Shaw—who recently suffered another setback—and Tyrell Malacia. 

The necessity became more exigent following the arrival of Ruben Amorim, whose 3 defender system requires dynamic, high-energy, attack-minded wide defenders. 

The Red Devils have been scouring the market for players that fit the bill, and they seem to have found an ideal candidate in the Paraguayan star, Leon. 

According to Fabrizio Romano, the interest is concrete as they have begun talks with Cerro Porteno. Per the report, the deal is expected to be closed in the region of $4 million dollars. 

It remains to be seen if the player would be brought in this winter or at the end of the season, but with the pertinence of an addition in the position, it is unlikely the Red Devils would wait any longer.
