Manchester United Report: Angelo Henriquez Completes Medical Ahead of £4M Move

Manchester United have reportedly completed a £4 million deal to bring Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez to Old Trafford (via the Daily Mail).

The player is reported to have completed a medical at the club on Tuesday ahead of the move.

The transfer will come as a surprise to some United fans, who were expecting Robin van Persie to be Sir Alex's priority transfer target.

But with Manchester City's interest reportedly growing, it seems that the United boss moved as quickly as possible to tie up the transfer with the player's club, Universidad de Chile.

The Chilean club's assistant manager Sebastian Beccacece first alluded to the deal speaking to radio station ADN early on Tuesday, revealing, "No doubt he is a very useful player, with a good goalscoring talent, but we have to count on the players that we have available, not the ones that aren't available" (via ESPN).

The 18-year-old has scored an impressive 11 goals in 17 appearances in 2012, and he has caught the eye of many of world football's top scouts, not just those from the Manchester club.

But it has been United who have perhaps most followed his progress, even inviting him to Old Trafford several times in the past.

The player's style of football has seen him draw favourable comparisons to United's former goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, despite standing at only 5'11".

He has played at all levels for Chile's youth sides, scoring for each team in only a few appearances.

With the start of the Premier League season less than a week away, United fans will be grateful that their club have snapped up the talented youngster, even if his contribution to the first team may be minimal in his first few years.
