Manchester United is on the verge of announcing their latest signing, Colombian midfielder Cristian Orozco, who is expected to join the club next week. Orozco has successfully completed the necessary procedures to finalize his transfer to Old Trafford.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the young talent will begin his journey in England by playing for the U21 team. This move will help him adapt to the new football environment and continue his development at the club's academy. Orozco will turn 18 on July 13, which is a significant milestone that allows Manchester United to officially register him for competitive play.

Currently, Orozco is in Manchester, settling into his new life and preparing for this exciting chapter in his career. Before reaching an official agreement, Orozco visited the Carrington training center and Old Trafford in December 2025. During this visit, he had the opportunity to participate in training sessions with the club's youth teams, impressing the coaching staff.

On the field, Orozco plays as a defensive midfielder and was a key player for the Colombia U17 national team, helping them reach the finals of the South American U17 Championship last year. His potential has been recognized, and he is considered one of the most promising young talents in Colombian football today.

The successful acquisition of Orozco is part of Manchester United's strategy to scout and recruit talented players from South America.
