Journalist Andy Mitten of The Athletic also reported the transfer, revealing further details about the young attacker's future. Adjei is capable of operating across the entire frontline, but Manchester United have recruited him primarily as a central striker.

The 16-year-old is expected to join the club's Under-18 squad, led by Darren Fletcher. Several other clubs had reportedly been monitoring Adjei, but the youngster ultimately chose Manchester United as the next destination in his development.

It is worth noting that Adjei has already represented England at youth international level. Manchester United have also recently strengthened their academy by signing Karim Cassim and David Eze from Manchester City, as well as Isack Konde from Liverpool.
