“All I can say is…wow,” said Scout, mesmerised by the Diego Leon video as Man Utd “agrees”

Football commentator The Secret Scout thinks the new footage of Manchester United target Diego Leon will “wow” Red Devils supporters.

Leon, who is widely considered to be among the top U18 South American players, is apparently in England with his entourage to conclude a transfer to United, who have supposedly reached an agreement with Cerro Porteno.

Fans of Man United may have good reason to be happy as the 17-year-old could soon become the first player signed during Ruben Amorim’s tenure.

At least that is what The Secret Scout has suggested by posting a compilation of the Paraguayan defender’s best plays and saying it ‘wowed’:

If the deal is completed, Leon would only be able to join United after he turns 18 years old in April as Premier League clubs cannot sign players aged under 18 from overseas.

Leon has amassed 19 appearances in the first Paraguayan division this season, after making his competitive debut at the start of the campaign, and has impressed scouts with his potential.

Described as ‘lightning quick and extremely aggressive in duels’, Leon is rated for his physical attributes and maturity and could well be the answer to United’s left-back woes.

The Red Devils have missed defenders Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia for a significant part of the 2024/25 campaign and Shaw’s absence is only going to continue.
