Manchester United’s midfield could soon see some fresh faces, according to recent scouting activities. Ruben Amorim, the team’s coach, has received public reassurance from minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe that his job is secure for the next three years. This could pave the way for the inclusion of new talent like Cristian Orozco, a young prospect who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. However, Orozco, who hails from Colombia, will have to wait until his 18th birthday next July to officially join the team.
New Recruits on the Horizon
Aside from Orozco, Manchester United has been keeping an eye on other young midfielders as well. One such player is Mouhamed Dabo, a 17-year-old talent from Senegal. The Red Devils have reportedly had Dabo on trial at their Carrington training base, with positive feedback on his performance. Despite the promising signs, the club is unable to make a formal offer for Dabo until he turns 18 in March 2026, due to FIFA regulations regarding the transfer of minors.
The Road to Signing
Dabo currently plays for Be Sport Academy in Senegal and has also captained his country’s Under-17 team. His recent success in helping Senegal qualify for the U17 Africa Cup of Nations has caught the attention of European clubs, including Manchester United. While the formalities of a potential transfer have not yet been set in motion, the successful trial indicates that the club may pursue Dabo once he becomes eligible next year. The anticipation is high for Dabo’s future with the team, as fans eagerly await his official signing next summer.
