Who Is Diego Leon: Man Utd's NEW 17-Year-Old South American Power Talent?

[@UnitedPeoplesTV]

I love these sorts of signings like Sekou Kone this summer too. Convinced that this approach will pay off in the long term with building a proper squad at United and the risk/reward is absolutely worth the investment if they pay off. Lets see what happens with Diego Leon and whether it develops more but he's an absolute unit that's for sure. United are prioritising physicality.

[@seanjagdeo8005]

Excellent footwork. His awareness is very good for his age. Glad to see United investing in youth. I think this is the best way to go for this club. Forget big money super star signings. Grind a little bit for a couple of seasons and develop young players.

[@ABESW0RLD]

He's an academy signing for summer 2025. We'll still sign a lwb in jan, probably Alvaro Fernandez. Buyback clause is net 8m because we have 50% sell on clause

[@jewniordaley6714]

He's a muscular lad!!! Great move United...

[@andrisesario]

Another future talent secured 🔓🙌🏻

[@elinjens1]

Secured? When?

[@ABN-c5s]

Secured from being a great player. As a manutd fan myself I don't think we can handle youngsters

[@ProminentAy]

He's related to Brazilian Hulk 😅😅

[@dadajulius6489]

Yeah, he's related to Hulk a Brazilian even though he's from Paraguay! It's the resemblance right? I get it. So funny!😂

[@tonyqwabe5873]

It's his nephew

[@dadajulius6489]

@oscarmccoy9102 Well it's a possibility. What do you think? The resemblance is quite striking!😂

[@ussyaigberadion7880]

looks like a combo of Hulk, Roberto carlos and Valencia

[@LoneWolf-sg5qk]

THE 17YR OLD BEAST !!

[@carlboss8105]

Focusing on young talent like Diego Leon from Paraguay shows a smart and forward-thinking approach by Manchester United. Building a team isn’t just about spending big; it’s about identifying players with potential who can grow and contribute to the club’s future. This strategy creates a stronger foundation and avoids the chaos that often comes with reckless, high-cost transfers. True success comes from balance-combining experienced leaders with young, hungry players who fit the club’s long-term vision. It’s not just about what a player can do now but what they can become with the right coaching and environment. If United stays patient and strategic, this approach could bring lasting success, not just quick fixes.

[@asadhussain5267]

Looks like Christopher wivell is doing well with his role. Great video Sam

[@cainhurst17]

yes it’s all started since he joined the board, it’s very exciting

[@seanjagdeo8005]

He's also a workhorse. Stamina seems extremely high. And that's exactly what United needs in their ranks. He reminds me of Valverde.

[@thedumbprogrammer123]

I agree. Only issue is will he be poisoned by the lazy/ dysfunctional and unserious culture at man u. I think a big single clear out is needed because as a new player comes in and starts getting poisoned by the old players, even if the old players are being culled, enough of them stay and pass on the shitty culture to the next generation and so the cycle continues. Thoughts?

[@mafako777]

His body language is so powerful and his face as well

[@odenkozuki4915]

He is a great physichal prospect, from paraguay

[@green-user8348]

Holy crap! The difference between Amass and Leon is insane.

[@frankmichael9866]

Who is better?

[@mylesnya]

@@frankmichael9866from what i’ve heard leon harry amass is struggling with consistency right now

[@KanyunNgere]

This guy, 17 years old? Wow!

[@dadajulius6489]

Will turning 18 in April next year (2025). Has potential and looks physically capable of playing in the EPL.

[@frankmichael9866]

The fact he is south american , already has my trust

[@simonscracher2020]

He looks a beast! Great option united👍

[@newhappiness4410]

He looks physically ready but how strong can he be mentally for United. I’d argue it won’t take any longer to mold these youngsters compared to the so called ready made seniors we sign

[@daren021]

Yeah when you are from a poor familiy from paraguay and had adversities all your life you built determination and hardwork to succeed.

[@thug_nose5519]

I could be wrong but I bet these young hungry guys will be easier to mould into great players than some of the shell shocked guys we have already

[@adrielamadi952]

Amorim is like Mourinho in terms of the profile of players he likes. They both like physically imposing players. Big and dominant

[@RobertoRojas1997]

Thank you for the mention! 🇵🇾

[@DannyChean]

Just look at the biceps of this kid at 17. Sign him now!

[@donragnar8430]

calm down Epstein

[@dykam11]

he worked hard in training

[@bennordberg6374]

Bro is an absolute unit already at 17! Sign him up we need more athletes

[@danielehiagwina]

That heat map gave me goosebumps 😊

[@khamissamuel9404]

Diego with high intensity, this is the kind of player Amorim intends to have in his squad

[@IMMERSIVEVOICE]

When you look at him you can see shades of Tagliafico in him. Brilliant

[@michaelwards7974]

Yes. Fast athletic. Perfect... Good ball skills too.

[@ahmadghazi4103]

Build like Antonio Valencia

[@user-w29vfwh59vd]

Was looking for this comment! He does look like Antonio Valencia! Hopefully he's more talented than him

[@CurtisHayes93]

We need to get him bought now tbh, because hes the kind of player Brighton would sign turn into an absolute smasher & sell him for 10x the price, so we cant miss out on this deal

[@MinoYTD]

17?? He looks feckin *SOLID*

[@chanvilleify007]

From his physique, if he comes to utd I can see in the future some utd fans calling him fat

[@NocturnalIntuition]

Well Luke Shaw was actually fat

[@onotualiyuohindase155]

This is what we've been waiting for!

[@RaptorXxP]

Physically he reminds me of pedro porro and kyle walker

[@VAR360-Media]

Wish the channel more and more development

Good prospect and with great advantage. I love the way we are doing things now.

[@andrewdarby4544]

Thanks for another great video sam keep up the good work.

[@BensonDeJoice]

Yes he is the answer to our left back

[@aayushmankatiyar5862]

Ok. I love it but what about Harry Amass?

[@pratikhora4880]

That’s what you get with a good football structure We are finally making sense as a club

[@AlofNdiaye]

The new Roberto Carlos

[@redgozza]

Blimey - don't need to worry about him handling the Premierships physicality! I'm getting very excited about the players who are going to make up the team in 3 years. We are accumulating some very good young talent. If we sign him we shouldn't expect him to deliver immediately. He'll be an investment not a certainty.

[@kylebriffa7]

Gotta love a south America signing

[@nicochatousse3994]

Now we need the here we go ..

[@fyoutube9410]

What a unit

[@3082frank]

Honestly, I like a player to be a bit big and strong. So you dont get bullied of the ball so easily. Unless you have speed. 😊

[@TemesgenAngelo]

That is great news for manunited if that is completted early soon as the others competatives arrive before!!!!!!!

[@irisheyes6781]

Jesus A big lad he is,Amorim can start him straight away

[@acegarcon-n1x]

dude looks like a beast for a 17 year old lol

[@steve0ization]

I like this type of signing and profile we need to start buying more in these types of markets and plus what a unit we need to start bullying teams on the pitch

[@abbi7944]

Ma man he is at least 23, believe me

[@abacaabaca8131]

We need a man that is willing to watch 63 TVs at the same time. This is the benefit of that.

[@ABESW0RLD]

5:44 or amass can just go on loan? Like its not that deep. The academy is lacking left footed left backs too. Its only amass

[@PatrickChen-l9d]

We need more than one with the amount of games

[@K_0106]

Utd definitely need more South American players 🤞🤞🔴🔴

[@Trades_Freddy]

That one clips shows what Dalot and Malacia haven't been doing for Ten Hag

[@timmy3423ify]

That comparison to Amass 😂

[@cliffordwaterton3543]

To paraphrase a quote from Sean Connery in 'the Untouchables' "If you''ve got a few rotten apples, don't go to the barrel, get them off the tree." This is how we rebuild the TEAM.

[@roywall8169]

it appears that as soon as he is familiar with the system, he needs to be on the first team.

[@Mriski981]

I think Man U should pay this guy u have carried us from worst period ur content are always positive u have carried Man U indeed

[@aminem2080]

WHAT A BOUT A STRIKER? A PROPER ONE if we need to solve that 'final third' problem we have

[@Postthc]

holy, the kids oozing testo

[@GrahamBriggs-z8k]

I hope he does well

[@BeeInfotainment]

100%

[@green-user8348]

Is he fast? Does he have a good cross?

[@tri3183]

Amorim better get with the program and sign some players who can help him get results now otherwise he's not going to be here in 4, 5 years to really reap the benefits of all these teenage prodigys flourishing in the first team.

[@c74mm]

Good work Sam. I’ll say no more mate.

[@Abdi-libaax]

Sounds like someone I would sign in football manager cheap with potential

[@lookscarpy4231]

Looks good but on steds 💪🏻

[@NawzirDemha]

😂😂 calm down lad it could be genetics

[@lookscarpy4231]

@ 😂

[@MinoYTD]

It’ll be his trainability and his potential they’re looking at as a replacement for Shaw. He ‘looks’ tailor made for somewhere like the Premier league, with the physicality expectations. He looks an exciting prospect tho!

[@bossbod3163]

It’s 50-50 getting people from South America for the English premiership!

[@paulpritchard9202]

If you buy 5 like this and 2 make it profit on 3 you sell it makes sense that goes for finding gems in our own country as well buying smart

[@shounak4047]

even if we sign him i wudnt just sell amass we need to let this guy settle and see how he fares and does he get injured constantly like rojo shaw etc. bcz we cant be sitting with only 1 lb/lwb

[@saunakmukherjee]

His physique reminds me of Hulk! ( the footballer )

[@stevet828]

We haven't got him yet.

[@slashthe2nd]

The kids jacked

[@Mcfred37]

I mean this is nice and all but until the first team gets sorted out I don't really care that much about these developmental signings, because as we've seen over the last decade they're going to get thrown into the deep end too early because the first 11 is riddle with holes. As we've shown time and time again with a dozen or more young talented players we awful at developing these young men into starters or stars at the senior level. As much as it's nice to see the team invest in academy signings until the first team is sorted out, so that young players aren't being rushed through, and we can establish a semblance of a winning culture then I don't see these types of signings ever really amounting to much change in the on field performances we see from the team.

[@sergioperea2562]

Que lastima que los vídeos no están saliendo traducidos al español 😢

[@cessgondo1919]

Damn! Estudiantic what a word!

[@hahadad5160]

only for him to leave at 23/24 years old to go to Madrid. that's always bothered me. players from south America have dreams in playing in Spain/Italy

Our team might be half decent in 7 years time😂

[@vxrdrummer]

So is he going from playing in the first team where he is now into our Academy, or is he going straight into the first team squad? Seems a bit backwards to go into an Academy when he has just broken out of one.

[@EnshroudedLad]

Sam, do you mean LB or LWB?

[@mosesakin5539]

This guy is at least 25 😂😂.. hopefully he can be our new Valencia

@steviemak10 let's hope it doesn't turn out to be like the pelistri deal. This guy looks like adama.

[@user-w29vfwh59vd]

Not quite Adama level of physicality! Let's hope he doesn't go on to be like Adama, he'll lose his athleticism and speed. Adama is a rugby player 😂

[@jhonma5122]

@user-w29vfwh59vd Yeah plus don't forget we'll need to buy diddy's stock of baby oil.

[@lintokochi]

Is he gonna play LWB or LCB ?

[@vkdeen7570]

lwb for certain, he's like a lwb version of maicon if u remember him

[@stargate8811]

Amass needs juice to beef up.
