United complete two academy signings, including teenage midfielder from Leicester City

Manchester United has completed two academy signings this summer, bringing in talented young midfielders from Leicester City. The club spent around £148 million, excluding add-ons, on first-team midfielders to replace Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte. However, Manchester United has also focused on strengthening their youth setup.

First, the club secured the services of 16-year-old defensive midfielder David Eze from Manchester City. The gifted player represents England at under-16 level and has now been officially registered by United following a multi-week investigation period. Eze joins a list of top clubs who were reportedly interested in the young midfielder.

Secondly, Manchester United has secured the signature of another Leicester City starlet, under-15 player Manuel Appiah Boakye. Boakye is regarded as a box-to-box midfielder and is another promising talent United has placed their trust in for the future.
