Man United beat competition to sign talented striker - deal to be signed today

Talented striker Enzo Kana-Biyik is one of the brightest prospects in French football.

Having distinguished himself in Le Havre’s academy, he has featured twice for the French club’s first team.

His talent attracted the interest of Manchester United, who have shown a keen desire to sign him.

According to journalist Benjamin Quarez, he is now set to travel to England today to sign for Man United after the club reached an agreement with the Franco-Cameroonian and his family last week.

Kana-Biyik is keen on joining the Red Devils and resisted Le Havre’s attempts to keep him at the club.

United have mapped out development plans for the 18-year-old, which aided their negotiation with him and allowed them to beat competition from Monaco and Marseille.

The forward will spend next season on loan at Swiss side FC Lausanne-Sport, owned by INEOS, after which he will return to United.

Kana-Biyik signing highlights INEOS’ vision for United

Since INEOS arrived at United, several young players have joined the club, and Kana-Biyik is set to be the latest addition.

These signings are not expected to immediately impact the first team’s fortunes but highlight the club’s clear preparation for the future.

INEOS aim to build a young, formidable squad capable of competing at the highest level in a few years.

This strategy is not foolproof, as some players may not reach the required level to play for the first team. However, United could still sell them for a decent fee to boost their finances.

This marks a shift in the club’s culture. United have previously spent heavily on established stars who have underperformed, ultimately affecting the club’s finances.
