Manchester United’s continued investment in youth remains a major focus under the INEOS regime, with Ruben Amorim offering regular first-team exposure to several rising stars this season.
The injury crisis has forced United to dip into their academy ranks, and players like Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson have stepped up in critical moments.
The Red Devils are expected to lean on their development model even more in the coming transfer windows, with the summer rebuild prioritising long-term sustainability.
Amorim and technical director Jason Wilcox are aligned on bringing in elite young talents who can grow into first-team regulars at Old Trafford.
And now, United’s latest move signals another bold step in that direction.
Manchester United have reportedly submitted a formal bid for highly-rated teenage forward Igor Tyjon, as per Rising Gems on X.
The 17-year-old prospect, already considered one of the most promising young attacking talents in Europe, is the subject of an offer believed to be in the region of £800,000 to £1.2 million.
Tyjon’s club are yet to respond publicly, but negotiations are said to be progressing, with the player himself open to a move to Manchester.

Sources close to the deal indicate that personal terms are not expected to be a stumbling block, as Igor Tyjon sees United as the perfect environment to develop and potentially break into top-level football.
The club’s renewed focus on promoting youth has only strengthened that belief, especially after seeing the success stories of players like Alejandro Garnacho and Mainoo.
Tyjon is a versatile forward capable of playing across the front three, known for his explosive pace, confident dribbling, and eye for goal.
He made two appearances for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship this season and netted four goals in seven outings in Premier League 2.
Should the transfer be completed, he is expected to join the academy setup initially, with a clear path toward the senior squad being part of United’s pitch.
United are wasting no time shaping the next generation, and this latest move further underlines their ambition to return to the top through smart, forward-thinking recruitment.
