Manchester United confirmed to sign new Marklele for 750,000! It has not made its debut in the Bundesliga, and the reasons for attracting La Jue are exposed

Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano confirmed that Manchester United has signed 17-year-old Colombia midfielder Cristian Orozco. He will officially join the Red Devils from Colombian domestic club Fortale Shocha when he turns 18 in July 2026.

Orosco's transfer fee will be US$1 million (£750,000), and Manchester United's lawyers have made all the contracts. The deal was pushed by Manchester United's South American chief scout Giuseppe Antonaccio and has been completely confirmed. The player himself also reposted Romano's "Here we go" report on social media and said, "Hello, Manchester United."

This player was unknown in the past, but was booked by Manchester United to make him famous. An account with his name and uncertified identity has now increased to nearly 4,000 fans. Orozco's joining is completely in line with Manchester United boss Sir Jim Ratcliff's strategy of attaching importance to youth training. Ratcliff intends to train his own Mbappe, Bellingham and Roy Keane.

midfielder is one of Manchester United's shortcomings over the years. In Ruben Amorin's lineup, Casemiro is getting older and his contract expires next year. Ugath failed to keep up with the Premier League after joining, and Kobe Meno opened high and closed low. It is completely impossible for Orosco to enter Manchester United's first team directly next year. He will definitely need to stay in the youth team for a long time, especially he needs to adapt to the new world, new country and new football style.

But Manchester United hopes they sign a promising future star, like Moises Kessedo, the club missed in the past. Orosco has not made his first team debut in his parent team Fortale Shocha, and the team is temporarily ranked fourth in the Colombian League and has a chance to compete for the championship.

Orozko has performed well in the Colombian National Youth League. He served as the captain of the U17 National Youth League and was recruited into the Colombian U20 Youth League. Manchester United scout Antonacho believes that if he makes a name for himself in South American football, the price may need to soar, so it is profitable to introduce it in advance. According to limited information, Orosco was born on July 13, 2008, 178cm tall and serves as a defensive midfielder. Romano said: "Orosco, remember this name, Manchester United is confident that they have found treasure. This midfielder has excellent strength and great potential."

Colombian football expert Samuel Vazque Rivas introduced: "Orosco is the midfield leader, strong and dominant in his half. He is a natural ball-restor, often starting from the back of the court, which makes him the core of the team. However, despite his development in the Colombian youth team, he has not played professional games for the club, so he is not very well-known in Colombia."

transfer expert Ben Jacobs gave a more detailed introduction, which is said to be a signing determined by Manchester United transfer director Christopher Vivier, who has worked in the Red Bull system. "This transfer decision was decided by Vivier. From a more macro perspective, Manchester United executives are indeed willing to enter the new and developing transfer market."

Regarding the characteristics of the player himself, Jacobs said: "Orosco is a defensive midfielder and a young player with great potential. He has shown many appreciated qualities: tenacious fighting, extremely fast, good at stealing, and able to break through the opponent's defense line and enter the opponent's hinterland."

Orosco is compared with former Real Madrid star Claude Marklele. "Many people like to compare him with Marklele. To some extent, this is indeed a high evaluation of him, but on the other hand, this new No. 6 midfielder is more comprehensive than Marklele. Not only will he retreat back to the defensive line to defend, but he will also actively attack forward. From Orosco, you will see his amazing speed change ability, extremely fast thinking and reaction speed, and excellent passing skills. These qualities are exactly what the No. 6 midfielder should have."

Of course, when many players first joined Manchester United, they will be portrayed as a revolutionary and invincible future, but only if they have played on the court, they will know what the future will be. In the two years since the acquisition of the club, Lajue has recruited many talented players, including midfielders, such as Segu Conne from Mali, who was also known as the new Yaya Toure and Essin when joining.
