Man United to sign 16-year-old midfielder this weekend – report
Manchester United are set to finalise a deal to sign young midfielder Ethan Galbraith this weekend, say reports
Manchester United will complete the signing of young midfielder Ethan Galbraith this weekend, according to reports.
The Daily Mail is claiming that the Red Devils are set to finalise a move for the 16-year-old Northern Irishman on a one-year scholarship deal after impressing during trials with the Europa League winners.
The same story reports that his deal will include the option for a two-year professional contract with Manchester United.
Galbraith is the captain of Northern Ireland’s Under-17s and has already made his debut at Under-18 level for his country.
The teenager has also spent time on trial with Liverpool but it seems that the midfielder is poised to make his move to Manchester United permanent this summer.
The EFL Cup holders are being linked with a number of new players this summer but the Red Devils have so far only confirmed the signing of defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica.
The Red Devils are currently preparing for a return to the Champions League next season after they won the Europa League in Jose Mourinho’s first campaign at the club.
