Manchester United have completed a deal to sign 16-year old Belgian attacking midfielder Indy Boonen.

The teenager was linked to Old Trafford back in December but we can confirm as of today he has signed for the Premier League giants.

Indy Boonen is left-footed and plays the number 10 role.

He had been training with Manchester United over the past few weeks.

Reliable Belgian football journalist Kristof Terreur broke the news via Twitter this morning:

Boonen will train amongst the reserves and will likely have a couple of seasons prior to making his first-team debut.

He joins the likes of Marouane Fellaini and Adnan Januzaj as Belgians at Manchester United.

His brother Seppe, 13, is a promising goalkeeper that has also been on trial at Old Trafford but there has been no update as regards to his future.

Boonen arrives from Belgium Pro League side Genk.
