Manchester United are poised to complete a deal for Spanish winger Mateo Meija after the Red Devils agreed a £600,000 fee with his club Real Zaragoza.

The 16-year-old has attracted attention from across Europe in the last 12 months and the Reds saw off competition from Premier League rivals to the teenager’s signature.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has torn up United’s transfer strategy since moving to the club and has moved away from a superstar approach this summer.

The Norwegian wants United to focus on up-and-coming talent and the Sun claim Meija’s move to the Theatre of Dreams is imminent.

Though he’ll initially play for the club’s academy side, Meija will be no doubt hoping to break into the first team as there’s a position available on the right flank.



Solskjaer was keen on signing Dortmund star Jadon Sancho but United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League scuppered a move.

United haven’t had a settled right winger since Antonio Valencia in the 2012/13 season and much of their attack comes down the left.

Daniel James remains the club’s only signing so far this summer though they hope to add Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the next week.
