Manchester United are all set to complete the signing of Gabriele Biancheri on a permanent deal. The youngster is expected to sign a four-year contract with the club, and it is only subject to the approval of FIFA before it is made official.
He has already completed his medical for the transfer, and it is only a matter of formalities now. The attacker will be joining the U-18s once he has moved to Manchester, and will then have the chance to make it to the first team.

Chelsea were also interested in signing the player, but he has chosen to sign for United. The Blues have invested a lot of money to sign young players for their long-term project. But, they will have to do without Biancheri who has already made up his mind.
At 5’7″, he isn’t the most physically imposing player on the field, but can provide a big impact in terms of creativity and finesse. He has been described as a skillful forward player, who can play anywhere across the line.
He has scored 17 goals for the development team, and has also been called up to the Under-21s for his remarkable performances. Gabriele Biancheri can represent Italy, England or Wales at the international level, and has represented Wales so far.
With Erik Ten Hag at the helm, he will be given an opportunity if he can impress the manager. But the competition for spots at the club is intense, and it will be a big new challenge for the teenager to take on.
