Manchester United's new signing, Colombian midfielder Cristian Orozco, has spoken publicly for the first time about his move to Old Trafford. The 18-year-old's transfer from Fortaleza CEIF was agreed nine months ago but only finalized on his birthday, July 16, 2026. Orozco, who will initially join the academy and likely play for the Under-21s, cited his physicality and technique as key strengths. He acknowledged the need to adapt and learn English quickly, having visited Carrington in December. Fans on social media are urging the club to officially announce the signing. United have also signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans to address midfield issues, with Orozco seen as a long-term prospect.
