Manchester United have completed the signing of English-Nigerian midfielder David Eze from Premier League rivals Manchester City.
The 16-year-old has joined United’s academy after leaving City, where he had progressed through the club’s youth system. The move was formally confirmed by Manchester United and had previously been signalled by the English Football Association.
Eze was listed as a Manchester United player in a recent FA announcement involving England’s youth teams, providing an indication that the transfer had been completed.
The central midfielder is considered a promising young player and has represented England at youth level. He will continue his development within United’s academy as he progresses through the English youth football system.
Eze is understood to have agreed a scholarship deal with Manchester United. The arrangement means he will be eligible to sign his first professional contract with the club in March 2027, when he turns 17.
His move to Old Trafford marks the latest stage in the development of the highly rated teenager, who has now switched between two of English football’s leading academies.
