Manchester United are considering a move for Moisés Caicedo, with the 19-year-old Ecaudor midfielder fitting the profile of the best emerging global talent the club has recently pursued.
Caicedo plays for Independiente del Valle in his homeland and would reportedly cost €6m (£5.4m). He made his club debut in October 2019 and is primarily a forward-thinking midfielder though he can also operate in a more defensive mode.
Caicedo has four caps, his debut coming two months ago aged 18 in a 1-0 loss to Argentina, and he scored his first international goal three days later against Uruguay in a 4-2 win.
Caicedo’s age and profile as one of Ecuador’s finest prospects are in line with United’s recruitment policy. Since last year the club has signed 19 young players: 16 of these have been 16-years-old, one 17 and two – Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo – 18.
Pellistri joined from Uruguay’s Atlético Peñarol in a £10m transfer in the summer window and is part of Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s senior squad. Diallo, a purchase from Atalanta, is expected to arrive in the January window.
