Manchester United are set to complete their second signing this month as the club are set to raid their Premier League rivals for a top talent.
Man United have secured the services of 17-year-old Diego Leon, who will join the Old Trafford outfit next summer, by which he will be 18.
Ruben Amorim remains in the market for new players ahead of next Monday's transfer deadline.

Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu is Amorim's favoured target for the left wing-back position and is pushing hard for Man United to sign him.
But, according to Fabrizio Romano, Amorim is set to add a centre-back to his squad.
Romano has given Ayden Heaven to Man United the 'here we go' treatment, with the 18-year-old set to leave Arsenal.

A medical has been booked after he rejected a new deal from Arsenal and an approach from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Romano adds that an agreement is being formally sealed.
Heaven started his youth career at West Ham United before joining Arsenal's academy.
He trained with the first-team squad on occasions during the 2023/24 season.

Heaven was also involved with Mikel Arteta's squad during pre-season ahead of the new campaign and was one of three youngsters, along with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, that was praised by Arteta.
He was among the substitutes for the North London derby against Tottenham and made his Arsenal debut against Preston North End.
A further report claims Heaven is considered as a first-team signing for Man United and will provide competition and cover for Lisandro Martinez, who has made 19 appearances in the Premier League this season.

The budding starlet is also capable of playing as a midfielder.
If the deal crosses the line, then it'd be the second player Man United have poached from Arsenal, having already signed Danish forward Chido Obi-Martin.
