Manchester United Targets Diego Leon as First Winter Signing Under Ruben Amorim

Manchester United are moving quickly before the winter transfer window opens and are close to making their first signing under new coach Ruben Amorim.

The team is looking to sign a new left-back and has started talks with Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno about signing their talented fullback, Diego Leon.

The 17-year-old made his debut in August and has quickly become a regular in the first team. He is known for his strong attacking skills, having scored two goals in nine games.

Manchester United has been searching for a new left-back because of injuries to their two main players, Luke Shaw, who has faced more injuries recently, and Tyrell Malacia.

With Ruben Amorim’s new system, which uses three defenders, the team needs energetic, attacking fullbacks.

Diego Leon seems to fit this style, and talks with Cerro Porteno are already underway. The deal is expected to cost around $4 million. It is unclear whether Leon will join in the winter transfer window or at the end of the season, but it seems unlikely that Manchester United will wait much longer to make the move.
