Manchester United 7 million new aid meets Amorin! He expressed his opinion that he would not stay in the team for a loan, and his fighting spirit has conquered the coach

Left-back Diego León, who was signed by Manchester United for £7 million in January, has flew to Manchester and met with coach Ruben Amorin in advance, and has left a good impression on the 40-year-old coach with his passionate fighting spirit.

Leon was actually the first player Amorin confirmed to sign after coaching. It was just because he was only 17 years old at the time and did not reach the age line of international transfers that he had to return to Paraguay to continue to play for Portno Hills for half a year. Its transfer fee is divided into three parts: a fixed amount of £3.2 million, a floating clause that is easy to achieve by £800,000, and a conditional bonus that is difficult to achieve by £3 million. This is a good price for an 18-year-old young player who has only played first-team games for more than a season.

However, Paraguay's young player is full of energy. When he left his motherland, he made it clear that he would not consider renting exercises and hope to stay at Manchester United directly and strive to enter the first team. He may start with the under-21 youth team, slowly adapting to English football, and then strive to gain Amorin's recognition.

Amorin has taken the lead in ending his holiday, flying this week, returning to Manchester City from Portugal to prepare for the team training camp that will start next week. Some fans met at the airport and took photos with them. According to British media reports, the first thing Amorin did after returning to Carrington was to meet with new player Leon on Thursday.

Leon set off from Paraguay on Tuesday and has arrived in England. In his talks with the coach, he said he was willing to fight for the first team rather than renting out to the lower-level league to exercise. Amorin is said to be happy about the young player's fighting spirit, and he appreciates such spirit.

Fighting spirit has always been Leon's advantage. "Competition Network" evaluates him as a brave left-back, a young genius, and a person who dares to dream. Leon himself said: "Joining Manchester United is a unique feeling and is something every child dreams of. I encourage everyone to dream bravely, and I am also a big dreamer."

As the first Paraguayan player in Manchester United's history, Leon said that he has realized his dream, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to truly represent the Red Devils. Manchester United's left-back position is Patrick Dorgu signed by Amorin himself, and Luke Shaw, who is also the longest effective "English Carlos" will also stay in the team. In addition, Harry Amas, the English demon of the same age, has completed his first team debut. Moreover, Manchester United right-back Mazravi and Diogu Dalo often play in the left wing.

Only by defeating these players can Leon truly represent Manchester United on Old Trafford Stadium. ESPN's Paraguayan football expert Roberto Rojas stressed that Leon is far from being ready to play in the Premier League. "He may not be good yet, this is where he needs to develop," Rojas explained. "In terms of technology, he is still very immature."

It is reported that Leon's advantage is his physical fitness and assists, and he can keep running the whole game without being tired, but he is not mature enough in passing and decision-making and is prone to making mistakes. Manchester United fans have a chance to see the new player’s performance in the pre-season, especially the first warm-up match against Leeds United in Sweden.

Manchester United internationals will not return next week. They have received longer holidays and register later. Therefore, the little demons have the opportunity to show themselves in the preseason in Stockholm and perform well so that they can be included in the roster of Amorin to go to the United States to practice later.
