Overview
- Orozco is flying to Manchester with lead scout Giuseppe Antonaccio after multiple reports said a fee of about $1 million (£750k) was agreed with Fortaleza CEIF.
- He is expected to complete pre-contract formalities during the visit, with the transfer to be formally finalised once he reaches 18.
- The defensive midfielder has captained Colombia’s Under-17s and has drawn stylistic comparisons to Moises Caicedo in coverage of the deal.
- United plan for Orozco to remain with Fortaleza until his registration can be completed next summer.
- The move aligns with United’s recent push to recruit high-upside South American teenagers as long-term academy investments under the club’s current recruitment leadership.
