Manchester United has reached a complete agreement to sign the Colombian younger Cristian Orozco after Fabrizio Romano had delivered his trademark “here we go” stamp of approval to the transfer.
A highly rated midfielder
The Red Devils reached a provisional agreement to sign Orozco, 17, after the midfielder had impressed Lead Scout Guiseppe Antonaccio, who leads the club’s recruitment in South America.
Orozco enjoyed an excellent CONMEBOL sub 17-it-U-17 championship of South America-Emer this year, Colombia to the final of the competition.
And yet The coffee growers Layed the competition on penalties of Brazil, Orozco’s versions fell in the heart of midfield from his side – as they have for his club side, Fortaleza Ceif, as well.
The young person stands out for combining elite financial with excellent technical skills – a powerful but rare, combination for a defensive midfielder in modern football, as every united fan can confirm in recent years.
He has drawn comparisons with Chelsea and Ecuador International Moises Caicedo – a player where the Red Devils themselves were closely connected when he was still in South America – who developed into one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
Orozco had caught the attention of other clubs in France and Germany, but it was United who first hit and last week a deal with $ 1 million (£ 750k) with Fortaleza corresponded to ensure that they do not miss another excellent midfield perspective.
And Romano has now stamped the move – which will be completed next summer when Orozco becomes 18 – because a full agreement has been reached.
Full agreement
The Italian transfer guru reveals that “all contracts” have been approved by officials from Old Trafford and the deal is now “sealed and signed”.

Ineos have demonstrated a renewed focus on securing the best young talent from all over the world since he took care of Old Trafford last year.
But if scouting reports that come from South America, it has been proven that it is correct, United may have just signed the best young person.
