Manchester United have secured the signing of promising young talent Emmanuel Ziro, further strengthening their already impressive academy roster.

The under-18s have enjoyed an exceptional season so far, dominating every opponent they’ve faced.

Meanwhile, the club’s aggressive academy recruitment strategy shows no signs of slowing, with Ziro being the latest addition to their growing pool of emerging talent.

The latest talent to join the club is 16-year-old winger Emmanuel Ziro, who joins from a London-based academy.

Emmanuel Ziro was training and playing for Cre8tive Football Academy, before being snapped up by Manchester United.

Rising Ballers had previously reported Manchester United were battling Chelsea and Arsenal for Ziro’s signature.

Ziro also posted to Instagram to confirm his move to Manchester United, explaining his excitement at the switch, that he is a Red Devils supporter.

He wrote: “Firstly, I would like to thank my family for all their love, support and encouragement throughout the years.

“For as long as I can remember I’ve had a ball at my feet and enjoy the game of football. I now have the opportunity to continue doing that at the biggest club in the world, as well as the team I support.

“I look forward to continuing my journey playing for Manchester United and would like to thank everyone that has contributed to my development up until now especially @cre8tive.football. You guys are my family and I thank you for everything you have done for me up.”

Talent spotter Jamahl Jarett credited

Emmanuel Ziro was unattached to a club previously, honing his talent at grassroots level, and now earning a move.

This is a deal that could be a real scouting success, and Rising Ballers credits Jamahl Jarrett, who is pictured on the right with Ziro.

Jarrett joined Manchester United in 2021 as lead scout for the South of England, The Sun reported. He had previously worked for Crystal Palace.

Back in the summer United swooped on Palace’s academy to sign Slovakia youth international winger Samuel Lusale.
