Manchester United are closing in on the signing of highly rated Colombian midfielder Cristian Orozco, with the teenager expected to arrive in the United Kingdom in the coming days to finalise his move. The update comes from a reliable source, confirming that the Red Devils have reached an agreement in principle with Fortaleza for the 17-year-old’s transfer.
United will reportedly pay a $1 million fee to secure Orozco, who is considered one of Colombia’s most exciting young midfield prospects. Although the deal is set to be completed soon, the player will officially join the Premier League giants in June 2026, once he reaches the eligible age to move permanently and register with the club.
Orozco has been on the radar of several European clubs due to his impressive performances at youth level, where he has consistently showcased maturity, ball control, and tactical intelligence beyond his age. Manchester United’s scouting department has been monitoring him closely over the past year, viewing him as a long-term investment who could develop into a first-team player.
