Manchester United’s scouting network has been hard at work over the past year and has been particularly active in South America. In January a deal was announced for promising Paraguayan left-back Diego Leon, who finally joined up with the club in July. There was also strong interest from Atletico Madrid and RB Leipzig but United were, for once, decisive in the market. Bailey said: “United are working hard in the Americas and Africa at the moment, they really are the places you can pick up some amazing young talent at source. The Red Devils reportedly hold an interest in 17-year-old striker Kevin Angulo, who made his debut for America de Cali last year.
