Manchester United are ‘set to complete’ the signing of Cardiff City youngster Gabriele Biancheri, who was born in 2006, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.

The Red Devils have handed the 16-year-old a four-year pro contract. Now, the Old Trafford side are just waiting for approval from FIFA to finalise the deal.

The Welsh national is seen as an exciting prospect for the future. He has mostly played as a striker for the Championship outfit’s youth team.

At the moment, United have a host of exciting talent in their academy setup. Charlie McNeill is a prospect from whom a lot of people have high hopes. The centre-forward is currently on loan at Newport County in League Two.

Other youngsters like Zidane Iqbal and Charlie Savage impressed many during the pre-season under Erik ten Hag. The Iraq international especially made a name for himself with some calm and composed displays in the middle of the park during the friendlies.

In the current campaign, Alejandro Garnacho has also broken into the team after spending a couple of good years in the Red Devils’ youth setup. The Argentine national has forced his way into the gaffer’s plans after some clutch performances.

The 18-year-old has made a considerable impact when coming off the bench this season. As a result, the youngster has become the understudy to Marcus Rashford on the left-hand side of the attack.

This term, the 25-year-old has been exceptional. He has shouldered the burden of the Old Trafford side’s forward line. The England international is himself a product of the Manchester-based club’s academy.
