Manchester United set to announce signing of French striker Enzo Kana-Biyik

Manchester United are set to announce the signing of Enzo Kana-Biyik on a free transfer, according to the Manchester Evening News.

United have already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers and are pursuing a transfer for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.

The winger is reportedly keen on a move to Old Trafford, but United could face competition from Tottenham Hotspur in the race to secure his services.

They are also seeking a new striker and have been linked with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres. 

Aside from targeting ready-made stars, United are planning for the future by bringing in younger players with high potential. 

They are set to complete Kana-Biyik’s move and are only waiting on a few regulatory steps before announcing the transfer. 

The 18-year-old’s contract with Le Havre expires this summer, and Man Utd will sign him as a free agent. 

He is set to follow in the footsteps of Paul Pogba, who also arrived in Manchester as a teenager from the Ligue 1 club.

Kana-Biyik scored nine goals in 16 games last season for the French club’s under-19s. He also trained with the first team but did not make his competitive debut. 

The centre-forward will reportedly be loaned to INEOS-owned FC Lausanne-Sport, although no final decision has been made.

He could stay at United next season and compete for a place in the under-21 team.
