Manchester United are continuing to pursue talent in this summer transfer window.

Under INEOS, there has been a clear strategy towards youth recruitment.

To ensure long term success, United have made a conscious effort to recruit for their youth teams, trying to define a clear pathway from Carrington to the first team.

Most notably, United signed Chido Obi and Ayden Heaven last summer from Arsenal, as well as Sekou Kone from FC Guidars.

This summer United have already signed Enzo Kana-Biyik, with the forward already completing a loan move away to Lausanne-Sport.

As well as Harley Emsden-James arriving from Southampton.
