Manchester United have reached a preliminary agreement to sign Colombian midfielder Cristian Orozco next year.

The 17-year-old central midfielder plays for Colombian club Fortaleza FC and is also the captain of his country at U17s level. He has represented his country nine times at that age group and worn the captain's armband in every appearance.

Orozco shone at the South American U17 Championship earlier this year, helping Colombia reach the final, where they lost to Brazil in a penalty shootout. The teenager will have another shot at international glory later this year when Colombia participate in the U17 World Cup, with matches against Germany, North Korea and El Salvador in the group stage.
