Manchester United have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Liverpool academy player Isaac Konde, according to Yahoo Sports, with the 16-year-old said to have completed the formal steps ahead of a proposed move to Old Trafford.

Konde has reportedly made six appearances for Liverpool’s Under-18 Premier League side this season, recording one assist. He generally plays on the left wing but can also operate on the right.

The reported move would continue a pattern of academy recruitment between major English clubs. Manchester United recently signed Tynan Thompson from Tottenham, while the club has also brought in former Arsenal youngsters Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi.

Konde came through Liverpool’s youth system. However, the source material does not identify a transfer fee, contract terms or registration date, and does not confirm whether the proposed move would be permanent.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Konde have not officially confirmed the reported agreement. The claim that the player has completed all formal procedures has also not been independently verified in the supplied material.
