Manchester United are determined to become the centre of developing young stars in football, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe setting this as one of his priorities when taking hold of his minority ownership at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have already had success with some of their graduates, with Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho becoming key parts of the United lineup, even being nominated for this year’s Golden Boy award.
Alongside these, Toby Collyer is showing great promise to follow in Mainoo’s footsteps and integrate into the senior team alongside Harry Amass.
Looking at their academy signings though, United have made some significant recruitments in the form of Samuel Lusale from Crystal Palace, Chido Obi-Martin from Arsenal and Sekou Kone from Guidars.

Now, reports from Sam C on X claim that The Red Devils are now scouting 19-year-old Peio Canales from Bilbao Athletic.
The attacking midfielder has come through the Bilbao academy, graduating to the senior team last summer. Last season, Canales made 26 appearances for Bilbao, grabbing three goals and an assist in his debut season.
Now, he is a key part of the Bilbao squad for this campaign after gaining promotion from Segunda Federacion Grupo II (Spanish fourth tier) to Primera Federacion Grupo I (Spanish third tier)
Sam C has expressed that scouting and monitoring of the 19-year-old has begun ahead of the upcoming January transfer window, suggesting we may see some movement from United in the new year.
