Manchester United set to announce three exciting new signings

Manchester United are waiting on Premier League and FA approval for their summer transfer window academy signings of Chido Obi-Martin, James Overy and Samuel Lusale.

The Manchester Evening News confirmed in July that United had reached an agreement to sign the exciting Obi-Martin, who was a prolific striker at youth level for Arsenal.

The MEN also revealed that Overy, who had been subject to Premier League interest since catching the eye playing for Perth Glory's senior side in a pre-season friendly against West Ham last summer when he was aged just 15, had accepted a scholarship deal at the club.

Lusale is the other youngster who has moved to the academy this summer from Crystal Palace. The 16-year-old winger played in Slovakia's three group games at the Under-17 European Championship in May and was in Palace's FA Youth Cup squad last season.

Those youngsters are waiting for the red tape to be lifted so they can represent the academy and a source has said United aren't expecting any problems for their official approval.

It's also understood there is no set timescale on how long the approval of each deal could take, which means the youngsters might have to be patient to play a competitive fixture for United.

United's academy is regarded as best-in-class and the club's youth scouts are tasked with finding youngsters who could have the potential to make the first team.

Scholarship deals are offered to promising young players and represent a milestone on the way to potentially being offered a professional contract, which can be signed at 17.
