Youngster Impresses at Manchester United…
Manchester United might just need to build a special trophy cabinet for Diego Leon’s first-team jerseys! The summer signing from Cerro Porteno, initially set for an Under-21 stint, has impressed everyone, from Coach Ruben Amorim to clubhouse mice, with his pre-season performance. United, who paid £3.3 million (potentially rising to £7 million) to secure Leon, have seen the young Paraguayan claim squad number 30 against Leeds in Stockholm and sport his flashy new No.35 jersey during his formal Old Trafford introduction, complete with dramatic band music playing in the background – at least in our imagination!
Despite losing his debut dance-off against the notorious Old Trafford tunnel ghosts, Leon’s made quite a splash on the pitch and in the media, with teammate Patrick Dorgu showering him with praise. Additionally, he faced many a camera and pen-toting journalist like a seasoned pro. Before landing in Manchester, he boldly promised to “kill it” during pre-season, though rest assured, no footballs were harmed in the process. With his top-player flair, he’s now a lion in the United’s big jungle, ensuring his teammates give their 100 percent, or risk being replaced by a very excited career mode sim player!
