Man Utd reveals plan to 'reap young rice' by young Spanish star

The Old Trafford team recruited Spanish U18 midfielder Arnau Puigmal from Espanyol.

Puigmal, 16, came through the Espanyol academy and impressed Manchester United scouts while playing for the club's youth team. He is a member of Spain's U18 team.

Man Utd signed a contract with Puigmal in July, but the transfer was delayed because of legal procedures related to international clearing.

The 2017 summer transfer window closed a few days ago and Man Utd did not announce any more signatures after recruiting Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic. Bản hợp đồng với Puigmal, vì thế, được giữ kín.

Arnau Puigmal thông báo tin này trên tài khoản Instagram cá nhân. He posted a photo with Man Utd legend Andy Cole, U18 team coach Kieran McKenna and announced that he had become a Man Utd player. Đội bóng Anh, trong khi đó, vẫn chưa đưa ra tuyên bố chính thức.

"I am very proud and happy to announce that I have become a Man Utd player. This is a dream come true. Now it is time to work hard. Let's go Red Devils," Puigmal wrote.

Puigmal was voted the most valuable player at the Mediterranean International Cup, a youth tournament that just took place. Đây là giải đấu Lionel Messi từng tham dự.
