Highly-rated Welsh 16-year-old Gabriele Biancheri joins Manchester United from Cardiff, with teen talent signing as a scholar ahead of first professional contract in September

Manchester United have signed highly-rated Welsh teenager Gabriele Biancheri, initially on scholar terms before he will sign as a professional in September.

The 16-year-old joined the club from Cardiff City having completed his medical last month.

Clearance for the transfer from FIFA and paperwork needing to be signed to complete the move had somewhat delayed the transfer.

Despite having never made a senior team appearance, Biancheri was chased by a number of Premier League clubs, though opted to join United.

Born in 2006, Biancheri is a forward who most often likes to be deployed centrally.
