US EditionMan United Signs 'Emerging Talent' Diego Leon From Paraguay
- Manchester United confirmed the signing of Paraguayan left-back Diego Leon in July 2025, joining from Cerro Porteno as their second summer addition.
- Leon, who turned 18 in April and played 33 senior matches scoring four goals, was signed to address the team's critical left-back shortage amid years of underachievement.
- The club announced Leon will integrate with both the first team and academy under new head coach Ruben Amorim, who is overseeing a major rebuild after past managerial failures.
- Leon stated, "Everyone thinks I'll go out on loan, but I don't have that mindset," and promised to dominate preseason and contribute early in the campaign.
- Manchester United hopes Leon's arrival helps reverse declining fortunes and close the gap on top rivals as they prepare for the 2025-26 season without Champions League football.
