Manchester United is reportedly shut down for yet another move as they already agreed to sign two players last week. The Red Devils were unable to win three of their opening five Premier League matches, making the campaign difficult to start. They also suffered an early exit from the Carabao Cup, as they fell into chastity defeat at the hands of the town of Grimsby.
Despite United’s disastrous start, they have taken steps to build for the future, at least in their recent transfer deal. Earlier this week it was reported that talented Colombian youth Christian Orozco is due to move to Old Trafford. Mouhamed Dabo is another teenager on the brink of the United Switch and is said to be about to close the deal.
A third young player could arrive soon, with the Sun reporting that teen goalkeeper Charlie Hardy is close to the Red Devils. The 16-year-old’s contract, which is expected to move out of Derby County, is said to be “in the process.”
Hardy has already confirmed that he has left the Rams to post on Instagram. “Nearly ten years later in Derby County, the time has come for a new chapter.
“It’s been an incredible nine years here, and I just want to thank everyone at the club who supported me throughout my journey and helped me become the player and person I am today.
“I am grateful for all the memories I made throughout my time at the club and the young people I played with. I hope everyone at the club is the best for the future.”
Hardy has yet to confirm that he will join United, but the move with players who are said to “pass the procedure” for his proposed Switch appears to be imminent.
He is a British Youth International and has represented his country five times at the level of under 16 years of age. Last season, when he was only 14, he was named on the bench with United under 18 in the Derby.
As a scholar in one category, Hardy can move to another English club at any time during the season. It suggests that his move to Old Trafford should pass intermittently, unless there is a last-minute issue to break the contract.
Hardy hopes to continue the kick under the guidance of Darren Fletcher, who coaches under the age of 18. United already has two highly rated goalkeeping prospects, Radek Vitek and Elyh Harrison, in their books.
United’s FA Youth Cup winner, Vitek, is currently on loan in Bristol City for the championship. Meanwhile, Harrison enters the next phase of his development on loan at League 2 side Shrewsbury Town.
