Orozco needs to wait until July 2026 when he turns 18 to wear the MU shirt according to regulations. |
British media have confirmed that the Old Trafford team is in the final stages of completing the contract with Cristian Orozco. The Fortaleza club's rough diamond is only 17 years old and is the captain of Colombia's U17 team.
The Red Devils are said to have agreed a fee of $1 million to bring the promising defensive midfielder to England. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Orozco will be in Manchester in the next few days to complete the final procedures before signing the contract.
In April, Orozco was instrumental in helping Colombia reach the final of the South American Under-17 Championship. With his leadership and mature playing style, he is considered one of the brightest talents in South America at his age.
The deal shows that MU is not only looking for a short-term solution but also laying the foundation for the future. The bold investment in a young, talented leader like Orozco affirms the direction of rebuilding the squad by nurturing new talents, creating a generation capable of bringing the team back to the top.
In the context of many Carrington products such as Scott McTominay, Mason Greenwood, Alejandro Garnacho or Anthony Elanga leaving, MU is forced to recreate the flow of young personnel for the new phase.
