Manchester United’s summer transfer window now has a third name confirmed to have made the move to Old Trafford.

This summer has been a long and frustrating one for fans, with Manchester United’s negotiations dragging out for long periods of time to avoid paying a premium.

This has been most evident in United’s pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo lasting longer than a month with talks continuing for the Cameroonian to join the club.

However, there have been two additions, with United confirming the signing of Matheus Cunha last month as he made the move from Wolves, costing £62.5m.

Cunha was followed through the doors last week when United announced the signing of Diego Leon for an initial £3.2m from Cerro Porteno.

Now, signing number three has been confirmed.

Manchester United confirm signing of Enzo Kana-Biyik

On Thursday morning, Manchester United posted on social media to reveal that they had completed the signing of Enzo Kana-Biyik for free, following the expiry of his contract with Le Havre.

Kana-Biyik was pictured signing his contract and wearing United training gear for the very first time, with the capture now official.

The 18-year-old has big boots to fill, with Kana-Biyik following in Paul Pogba’s footsteps, having joined United from Le Havre.

However, despite joining United, the striker will spend the 2025-26 campaign on loan with Ineos-owned FC Lausanne-Sport, as now confirmed by the Swiss club.

Ineos finally making use of multi-club model at Manchester United

When United’s footballing department was taken over by Ineos, there was excitement over seeing a multi-club model put into play, with Nice and Lausanne part of the Ineos group.

However, Kana-Biyik’s move to Lausanne is the first of its kind under Ineos and should set a precedent going forward with top wonderkids being sent to Lausanne to develop opposed to sitting in poorly placed loans in England.

With Lausanne, Kana-Biyik could play Conference League football next season, which will be a great benefit to his development and should see him return next season as a far better footballer.

This loan is also the first done by Jonny Evans in his new loan manager role for United, although it was likely the easiest one he will have this summer.
