Manchester United have completed the signing of highly-rated British-Ghanaian teenager Tyler Adjei from Reading, with the 16-year-old set to become one of the first academy additions ahead of the club’s new era under incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino.
According to The Athletic, Adjei has agreed personal terms with the Premier League giants and the deal is complete, with only the final administrative formalities remaining before it is officially confirmed.
Born on July 17, 2010, Adjei is an England Under-16 international who has impressed with Reading’s youth setup, earning recognition as one of the country’s brightest attacking prospects.
Capable of operating across the front three, the teenager is expected to be developed primarily as a central striker at Old Trafford. He will initially link up with Darren Fletcher’s Manchester United Under-18 side, where he will continue his progression.
Adjei’s athleticism, attitude and work ethic are among the qualities that attracted United, although the youngster is expected to continue refining the technical aspects of his game as he develops within the club’s academy system.
His arrival comes at a significant moment for Manchester United, with Mauricio Pochettino set to officially take charge next week following the dismissal of Michael Carrick.
