Overview

• Reports from Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, echoed by Ben Jacobs and UK outlets, say United have an agreement in principle with Fortaleza CEIF.
• Cristian Orozco is a 17-year-old defensive midfielder who captains Colombia’s U17s and helped them reach the South American U17 final.
• The teenager has yet to make a professional debut, and neither Manchester United nor Fortaleza CEIF has issued official confirmation.
• If finalized, the transfer would see Orozco arrive next year and likely begin with United’s U18 or U21 squads.
• Coverage frames the move as part of United’s push for overseas prospects under football director Jason Wilcox, following signings such as Diego Leon, Sekou Kone, Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi.
