Manchester United have officially announced the signing of 16-year-old midfielder David Eze. The young talent has joined the club's academy after leaving Manchester City this summer.
Eze has signed an initial scholarship agreement with United. According to sources, both parties have also agreed on a long-term professional contract that will take effect when the player turns 17.
Eze moves from Manchester City
Born in Dublin, David Eze represents England at the youth international level, having already featured for the England U16 and U17 teams.
His development will now continue within the Manchester United academy.
This move is another example of young players transitioning from Manchester City's system to United, a trend that has been noticeable in recent years.
Second move from City in a few days
Previously, Manchester United confirmed the signing of another young midfielder, Karima Kassim, who also left Manchester City.
Thus, Eze follows the same path, making his way from one of United's main competitors' academy to the club's system at Old Trafford.
For Manchester United, working with promising players remains an essential part of academy development, and Eze now has the chance to continue his career in the red half of Manchester.
