United's closest summer window signings will be Barca midfielder Frankie De Jong, Ajax striker Anthony or Watford goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann, but a youngster, with Tottenham youth left-back Jayden Meghoma being the Red Devils' first signing in the summer.
According to British media disclosures, Meghoma has told friends that he is determined to join Manchester United, which is an English left-back who can also make a cameo at centre-back. Meghoma is only 15 years old and has not yet signed a professional contract with Tottenham, which the Red Devils can easily sign if they convince the players and their parents.
Sources also told Football Insider that the deal has been reached and That Meghoma will sign a youth player contract to join Manchester United's youth system, and when he turns 17, the contract will automatically turn into a professional contract.
Meghoma is a member of England's under-16 national youth team, and in 2018, Spurs Academy signed the England boy from Wycombe, who is considered one of the most talented young players in England, and Manchester United even rated him as one of the best left-backs in Europe of the same age. Of course, the authenticity of this title can be basically ignored, and many young players have various best labels on their bodies when they transfer, after all, there is no criterion for judging, and it can be said anyway.
Tottenham's current top talent in Academy is striker Dane Scarlett, who made his first-team debut under Jose Mourinho at 16 years and 247 days. United also wanted to poach Scarlet this summer, but was rejected by the players and he chose to renew his contract to stay at Tottenham.
On 28 June, Meghoma will celebrate his 16th birthday and is expected to join United's under-18 youth team. He made two appearances in Tottenham's youth squad last season, with only 134 minutes.
United's youth system has lost several coaches this summer: under-23 coach Neil Wood left the team, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was succeeded by Mark Dempsey, one of the former coaching staff members, and former Manchester United academy defender Paul Macshane retired as an assistant coach. Under-18 youth manager Travis Binnion, who led Manchester United to the FA Youth Cup, was promoted to head of youth development and coaching, replacing the departing Justin Cocran.
As for the progress of Manchester United's first-team transfers this summer, fans will have to wait, and the club has not yet successfully recruited reinforcements and has not sold any existing players. In the left-back position played by Meghoma, it was once rumored this summer that United were interested in bringing in Feyenoord's Tyrell Malacia, who was considered one of the candidates for signings submitted when Tenhag was in charge of the Red Devils, but the club did not make a substantive move due to the lack of a transfer budget in the summer window.
Now, nicknamed "Pit Bull", Malaysia could move to Ligue 1, with Lyon already quoting £12m for the 22-year-old Dutch international. Not only that, but Newcastle United, the new giant of the Premier League, is also interested in Malaysia and may participate in the competition, and Feyenoord has priced him for 15 million pounds.
Although the price is not high, Manchester United are looking for Barca's Dutch midfielder Frankie De Jong to see how much it will cost to buy him in order to determine how much money is left in other positions.
Manchester United's left-back position currently has "England Carlos" Luke Shaw, knife guard Alex Tres and Alvaro Fernandez, recruited from the Real Madrid youth system, plus Portugal international Diogu Dallo can also make a cameo appearance on the left, the club management believes that the need to sign a new left-back is not high, and the youth training reinforcement is enough.
Meanwhile, the first player United voluntarily sent away in the summer window has also been determined, and substitute goalkeeper Dean Henderson rents out Premier League promotion Manodinham Forest for one season, and the signing will be officially announced after the players end their holidays next week. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that negotiations were completed and that Henderson's loan period was until June 2023, with no buyout clause.
