Years of work has paid off for Sir Alex Ferguson as the teenage Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez sticks to his agreement to move Old Trafford despite interest from City.
Fergie convinced the teenage sensation to join Manchester United in whirlwind talks after City made an attempt to hijack the deal. Yesterday the young Chilean striker flew to Manchester for his medical after he decided to stick with United, who have had an agreement set up for him for months, despite Manchester City being ready to pay more for the Chilean.
It is said that Henriquez revealed that his "heart" is still with United - who have courted the young Chilean for years and have even had him over for a visit in his early teens - who he had already came to an agreement two months ago.
United had decided to take up the option with Henriquez's club Universidad de Chile to avoid their noisy neighbors out bidding them and taking Henriquez to the Etihad. United will now try to secure a work permit for the Chilean starlet.
Henriquez loved up to his youthful promise after scoring a burst of goals in Universidad's first team. Both Manchester clubs had also been scouting him over the weekend during a tournament in Holland, and his agent was set to meet both clubs.
Though, Henriquez made the decision for himself and headed straight for Old Trafford. With this signing it would seem that Fergie is getting ready to rebuild the team once again. Angelo Henriquez is another good young player with huge potential, this coming after the signings of Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell two other young players that look set to shine at Old Trafford. Is Van Persie next??
