Manchester United agree a £4m deal for Chilean football prodigy Angelo Henriquez

Manchester United’s long term transfer target Angelo Henriquez finally completed his medical at the club today. The Chilean striker from Universidad de Chile has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for some time now. 

Henriquez - The Chilean wonderkid

 Back in June, Manchester United was caught amongst speculation suggesting Sir Alex Ferguson had finally convinced the Chilean club to sell of their 18-year-old striker. On Tuesday, Angelo Henriquez spent three hours at the Bridgewater Hospital in Manchester to undergo Manchester United’s medical tests. 

 According to initial reports Manchester United has paid around £4 million in transfer fees for Angelo Henriquez. 

The new Devil

 Sir Alex Ferguson has been closely monitoring Angelo’s Henriquez’s development as a player for the last couple of years. Reportedly, a number of other Premier League and Spanish clubs were also interested in acquiring the youngster. 

 Angelo Henriquez is considered to be one of the hottest prospects in football from South America. Even at such a young age the Santiago born has proved he is destined to become a star in the future. 

 Angelo Henriquez, who scored 11 goals in 17 league appearances for Los Azules, attracted a lot of interest in the transfer market this summer. Manchester United had been trailing the youngster for a long time. Therefore, the Red Devils had an edge over other competitors in signing him. 

Another great coup by Sir Alex

Sir Alex Ferguson’s routine of swooping in for young talents around the world is turning into a habit. The legendary Scotsman has reformed Manchester United’s transfer policy with the club investing in smart transfer deals. Picking up talented youngsters for a sensible price is way better than splashing fortunes over established players. 

 In recent seasons David de Gea, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez have entered Manchester United ranks because of this transfer policy. All of these players have made impressive impacts in the Manchester United squad. As a matter of fact they have become a part of Manchester United’s first team too. 

 Sir Alex Ferguson expects Angelo Henriquez to do the same. The young striker could even make his debut for Manchester United this season.
