BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United Set to Confirm Signing of Young French Forward on a Free Transfer
Manchester United are on the verge of officially completing the signing of French striker Enzo Kana-Biyik, who will join the club on a free transfer from Le Havre.
This transfer has been in motion for several months, with reports from the Manchester Evening News back in April revealing that Kana-Biyik had already traveled to Manchester to finalize the terms of his move.
Now, only a few minor administrative steps remain before the transfer can be formally ratified.
The finalization of Kana-Biyik’s move is largely being held up by standard regulatory processes.
Once these final details are addressed, Manchester United are expected to officially announce his arrival.
This upcoming announcement will be more prominent compared to the recent quiet signing of Harley Emsden-James, a 16-year-old who recently joined United from Southampton.
Interestingly, there has been speculation regarding a possible immediate loan move for Kana-Biyik to FC Lausanne-Sport, a Swiss club owned by INEOS, which also holds a significant stake in Manchester United.
However, at this stage, no decision has been made regarding a potential loan, and Kana-Biyik’s immediate future at United remains to be fully determined.
At just 18 years old, Kana-Biyik is set to follow in the footsteps of former United star Paul Pogba, who also made the switch from Le Havre to Old Trafford as a teenager.
While Kana-Biyik has yet to make his professional debut for Le Havre’s first team, he spent the previous season training with their senior squad, gaining valuable experience at the top level.
His performances at youth level have been impressive, scoring nine goals in 16 appearances for Le Havre’s Under-19 side last season, further showcasing his natural goal-scoring instincts and potential.
Behind the scenes, Manchester United’s academy staff have taken steps to ensure that young international players like Kana-Biyik are able to integrate smoothly into life at Carrington.
Much like with Sekou Kone, who joined United from Mali last year, staff have been undertaking French language lessons to better communicate with their new recruits.
This approach reflects United’s broader commitment to developing a more inclusive and supportive environment for their young international signings.
The acquisition of Kana-Biyik is part of Manchester United’s larger strategy to strengthen their youth ranks with emerging talent from across Europe.
Under the guidance of INEOS, the club’s recruitment network continues to grow and identify promising prospects for the future.
An official announcement confirming Kana-Biyik’s signing is expected soon, once all the paperwork is fully processed.
It remains to be seen whether the young striker will join Manchester United’s Under-21 squad immediately or be sent out on loan to gain first-team experience elsewhere.
The option to send him on loan to FC Lausanne-Sport remains open, should United choose that pathway for his development.
Although Kana-Biyik is not yet a widely recognized name, his reputation continues to grow within French youth football circles.
Many observers believe he has the tools to develop into a standout talent for Manchester United in the years ahead.
