‘Exciting’ attacking sensation joins Man Utd after snubbing clubs in England, Italy & Germany - Picture
16-year-old Slovakian winger Samuel Lusale has officially joined Manchester United after leaving Crystal Palace, according to the Secret Scout.
The Secret Scout – a reputable source for youth football and transfer news – has claimed on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that Man United beat competition from clubs in England, Italy and Germany to the services of the teenage sensation, and completing a deal for former Arsenal youth striker Chido Obi-Martin is next.
Manchester United agreed a deal to sign Lusale back in July after he rejected a scholarship offer from Palace, and they have now finally got the deal over the line after agreeing compensation with the Eagles.
The Slovakia under-17 winger is widely regarded as one of the most exciting attacking players in the land at under-16 level, and landing such a talented youngster is huge for Man United.
They also signed 14-year-old right winger Silva Mexes Tyler-Earnshaw from Ipswich Town, 16-year-old right-back James Overy and 18-year-old defensive midfielder Sekou Kone from Guidars FC in the summer, and Lusale has been snapped up and will now join the Man United academy.
He is a constant threat to the opposition defence due to his exciting style of play, and Man United will hope he breaks into the first-team and becomes a Premier League star sooner or later.
The Slovakian plays on both wings, and his pace and direct running with the ball are his greatest strengths.
The Red Devils have recently been concentrating on signing some of the best teenagers in the world, and more youth players are expected to join Lusale and others going forward.
They strengthened their first-team by splashing £206 million on the signings of Manuel Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui in the summer, but they equally bolstered their youth ranks too and will continue to do in subsequent transfer windows.
