Manchester United set to announce signing of French striker on free transfer

Manchester United are set to announce the signing of Enzo Kana-Biyik on a free transfer.

The Red Devils have been very active this summer, as they have already wrapped up a move for Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Ruben Amorim’s side are pursuing a transfer for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, with the winger reportedly keen on a switch to Old Trafford.

They are also seeking a new striker and have been linked with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres.

Besides targeting ready-made stars, United are also planning for the future by bringing in younger players with high potential.

According to Manchester Evening News, they are set to complete Kana-Biyik’s move and are only waiting on a few regulatory steps before announcing the transfer.

The 18-year-old’s contract with Le Havre will run out this summer, and Man Utd will sign him as a free agent.

He is set to follow in the footsteps of Paul Pogba, who also arrived in Manchester as a teenager from the Ligue 1 side.

Kana-Biyik scored nine goals in 16 games last season for the French club’s Under-19s.

He also trained with the first-team but couldn’t make his competitive debut.

Previous reports suggested the centre-forward would be loaned to INEOS-owned FC Lausanne-Sport, but it appears no final decision has been made yet.

This means he could stay at United next season and compete for minutes in the under-21s.
