The Paraguayan youth international makes the move from his homeland club, Cerro Porteño.

United have agreed a deal worth £3.3m, which could rise to £7m with add-ons. Leon will be assessed during pre-season before the club decides on his immediate future.

Although he was signed during the winter transfer window, the move couldn’t be finalised at the time due to his age. He’s now arrived in England and ready to get started.

Despite his young age, the talented full-back has already made 35 senior appearances for Cerro Porteño, chipping in with 4 goals.

Leon becomes United’s second summer signing, following the £62.5m arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
