MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Mateo Mejia for 130,000.
The 16-year-old attracted a wide range of interest following his incredible spell of form for Real Zaragoza’s youth team last season.
According to Spanish newspaper El Periodico de Aragon, United have won the race for his signature.
The source claims that Mejia is already making his mark at the club after arriving at Carrington in July.
It is reported that the youngster is being put through his paces with United’s Under-18 squad.
Mejia was free to leave the Spanish side as he was not tied down with a professional contract.
He was also linked to Real Madrid, Arsenal and Valencia during the summer transfer window.
But United have sealed the deal as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to complete a major overhaul of the squad.
The Reds have been linked to Milan Skriniar – but he has admitted he has no plans to leave Inter Milan.
And Ivan Rakitic has snubbed a possible move to Old Trafford as he would reportedly prefer a move to AC Milan or Paris Saint-Germain.
But they are at risk of losing rising star James Garner to Preston or Wigan.
