Cristian Orozco travels to Manchester for medical with United

Summary

Cristian Camilo Orozco, a 17-year-old midfielder from Fortaleza CEIF, is set to undergo a medical with Manchester United on Sunday. United’s chief South American scout, Giuseppe Antonaccio, will accompany Orozco, reflecting the club’s commitment to this signing. A verbal agreement between the club and the Colombian team was established in October 2025, and the transfer fee is reported to be around $1 million. Due to FIFA regulations, Orozco cannot officially register with United until he turns 18, meaning he is expected to return to Fortaleza on loan until summer 2026. The club aims for him to integrate into the U21 squad once eligible.
