• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  United have been on the lookout for a new left-back due to the injury issues of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia over the past 18 months. And now they are bringing in a talented full-back who could solve those issues in the future. Amorim has been linked with a reunion with some of his old Sporting CP players at Old Trafford but Leon may be the first to arrive at the club during the Portuguese's tenure.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Leon was born in Colonia Yguazu, Paraguay, on April 3, 2007. He is primarily a left-back but can also play as a left wing-back. The youngster has made 21 appearances for Porteno this season, scoring two goals in the process.
