Manchester United have reportedly secured a deal for 16-year-old Barcelona defender Marc Jurado.
The teenager has spent the past nine years in the ranks at Barca's academy but has supposedly rejected La Blaugrana's offer of a new contract.
Indeed, according to Sport, Jurado believes that United's youth team would be a better place to further his career, and the Spaniard turned down a significant pay rise in order to secure a move to Old Trafford.
The report also claims that Barcelona are not happy with the defender's decision after trying to tie him down to a new contract for several weeks, and Jurado will arrive in Manchester this summer.
Meanwhile, United are reportedly considering whether or not to delay an approach for long-term target Jadon Sancho, as big-money moves are shrouded in uncertainty amid the coronavirus pandemic.
