Highly-rated Colombian defensive midfielder Cristian Orozco has arrived in England to officially complete his long-awaited £750,000 transfer to Manchester United after celebrating his 18th birthday.

Manchester United are poised to officially secure their first signing of the summer window as highly-rated Colombian prodigy Cristian Orozco lands in England.

The Red Devils brokered a preliminary agreement worth roughly £750,000 with Categoría Primera A side Fortaleza last year.

The defensive midfielder is scheduled to undergo formal medical examinations at Carrington before the club announces his multi-year contract.

The club strategically delayed the completion of the transfer until July 2026 to coincide precisely with Orozco reaching the age of majority.

Under strict international FIFA registration guidelines, the defensive pivot could not be officially processed until turning 18. The international youth captain is initially expected to join the club’s under-21 squad for their upcoming pre-season training preparations.
