Manchester United are closing in on the signing of a talented Polish teenager, according to the latest reports.

The Manchester Evening News claims that the Red Devils are set to announce the captain of 16-year-old Lech Poznan sensation Lukasz Bejger.

Bejger is versatile and can play as either a centre-back or right-back, and recently captained Poland’s U16s.

The MEN had previously reported that Man City were also after Bejger, with the player having had trials at both Manchester clubs, but that United had won the race.

Now, the paper claims that the Red Devils are set to announce his capture soon with the player having received clearance and already having posed for his club portraits.

United also recently unveiled the signing of Slovakian teenager Martin Svidersky, who wrote on his Instagram page: “A Dream Come True. A day I will never forget. Delighted to sign my first contract with Manchester United. I would like to thank my family, friends but especially GOD for a big support. Many more things to come in future.”
