Leon will travel to the UK soon to complete his transfer to Old Trafford. The young player already signed a preliminary agreement with the Red Devils back during January.

Leon joins a growing list of young international players United has targeted recently. The club continues building for the future with smart investments across multiple positions. This deal shows United's strategy of securing talented players before other major clubs notice them.
