According to The Daily Mail Manchester United have agreed a first option deal for 16 year old Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez.
Having impressed in the South American Under 17 Championship in Ecuador with 3 goals, United swooped to agree a first option deal with Henriquez’s club Universidad de Chile.
Henriquez came on trial to United with another Chilean player in 2009 and apparently we have agreed a deal to sign him before 2014.
Speaking to Triunfo, Henriquez said:
‘Of course it is amazing that a team like Manchester United have taken an interest in me. They are a huge team at a world level and playing for them would be a dream come true.
‘For now I am only thinking about my club, making my debut and performing; because Manchester United have told me that I have to start getting experience to make the move to England.’

He looks about 27.
A bit far in the future butexited about any new player Under the age of 18 that we sign (so not Bebe or Obi Tan Kanobi).
He’s a ringer mate, the South American Obafemi Martins!
Thank you for the apology my friend, and for the inspiration quotes!
