Manchester United signed a central defender demon for 1 million again, and the new sports director handpicked a genius! The new left gate has arrived in Manchester

Mbemo, who looks like Lebrun James, has yet to move to Manchester United, and the real James has already been confirmed. According to British media reports, Manchester United have reached an agreement with 16-year-old Harley Emsden-James, who will join the club's academy this summer.

United are said to be paying £1 million for Amsden, with Southampton also receiving a 20% share of the secondary transfer. The England youngster, who turned 16 in March, only made two substitute appearances for the Saints under the age of 18 last season, so it will take time to see how good he is.

Of course, if he joins Manchester United and is favored by Premier League teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, he will certainly be considered a "peerless talent", and it is hoped that he will be as eye-catching as Arsenal defender Eden Haven, who joined in January. The 18-year-old has made six first-team appearances since his £1.5 million move to Manchester United in the winter transfer window.

Judging by the limited video footage, Amsden usually plays at the back of the team, acting as a centre-back on the right side, relying on his composure and possession to launch attacks for the team, and has good dribbling and passing ability in youth team games.

It is inevitable that Amesden will miss out on Ruben Amorim's Manchester United first team in two years' time. Jason Wilcox, the new director of football, is thought to be the man behind the introduction of Amsden, having worked at Southampton and is familiar with the team's young players.

Under the Premier League's young player transfer process, Amsden's signing is still pending the league's investigative process, which could take months. Nor is he the only player to join the summer season: before the end of last season, the Reds had booked 18-year-old French striker Enzo Kana-Biyik in Le Havre, France, and he was thought to be on loan at Sir Jim Ratcliffe's side of Lausanne, Switzerland, for a sporting season.

In addition, Paraguayan left-back Diego Leon has completed his medical and signing in January and will officially join this month after turning 18. He hinted on social media that he had arrived in Manchester and posted photos of the Old Trafford dressing room, as well as renderings of himself wearing the red shirt of Manchester United.

Coming from Paraguay's well-known side Potno Hills, León joined the club at the age of 13 and made 33 appearances for the first team, scoring four goals. Manchester United spent £3 million on his signing. According to him, his idol is French legend Patrick Evra, who is tied with Denis Erwin as the two best left-backs of the Red Devils' Premier League era.

British media revealed that Manchester United has formulated a development plan for Leon, and he will first play in the U21 youth team (reserve team) to experience English football, and then gradually promote it. United are expected to make an official announcement of his arrival in early July, but the coaching staff assess that he is still too young to play English football, so he needs to be honed.

United currently have three left-backs at Patrick Dolgu, Luke Shaw and Harry Armas, with Diogu Darlow and Mazraoui on the right also both available for the position, so León will face a lot of competition. Ahead of this summer's training camp, United will play Leeds United in Sweden for a pre-season game that will put Leon to the test and give the coaching staff an idea of their level. Amorim is likely to assess the youngster in the first few weeks of pre-season before deciding whether or not he will take part in the US tour.
