Manchester United on the brink of sealing deal for Zito Luvumbo

Manchester United could seal a deal for Angola teenager Zito Luvumbo after giving him the opportunity for a trial following his impressive performance so far.

Zito Luvumbo is 17 but has caught the attention of the Premier League giants. He has been training with United’s U18s this week after he impressed at the COSAFA Cup- the Council of Southern African Football Association last year at the U17 and U20 levels.

It is reported that Watford, FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon are also interested in his signature but the Red Devils already have him at hand with the advantage to seal a deal for him after proper analysis has been made.

The Red Devils are hoping to build a bank of talents with the teenagers which is the reason why they are investing in them at a younger age as it would cost them less.

Suggestions are that the Old Trafford team have learned a lesson from the contract mess with Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea who has been reluctant to commit his future at the club.

However, Zito Luvumbo might not be ready for a first team football but he would be allowed to develop and progress at the youth team before he is promoted.
