According to Manchester Evening News, Man United have agreed an initial fee worth £3.3million, rising to £7million to secure the signing of Paraguayan defender, Diego Leon.

Leon made 33 appearances for Cerro Porteno and primarily features in the left back position. For the national side, the teenager has thus far earned 9 caps for the U-20 side.
MEN state that Ruben Amorim will take charge of the pre-season for Man United on July 7 and Diego Leon is expected to be assessed before a decision is made on his next steps for the upcoming campaign.
Last term, Diogo Dalot, a natural right back, mainly featured in the left back / left wing-back position for United.
In the last January transfer window, the 20-time English champions splashed the cash to sign Patrick Dorgu from Serie A side, Lecce.
He made 12 appearances in the Premier League, failed to directly contribute in any goal, and only helped United keep a single clean sheet (in the final game of the season against Aston Villa.
The 20-year-old is talented and needs time to settle but also needs competition, that is where Diego Leon might come in if he proves his worth in the pre-season.
