Manchester United complete surprise raid on Liverpool for teenage talent

Konde is expected to link up with Darren Fletcher’s Under-18 team once the transfer is formally cleared.

The move also fits United’s wider strategy of recruiting promising teenagers from rival academies. The club have already brought in several young players this summer, including David Eze from Manchester City and other highly rated prospects.

For Konde, the switch offers a chance to keep developing at one of English football’s biggest clubs, while United will hope the winger can eventually become a first-team option.
