<p>Leon agreed to join the Red Devils for €4m earlier in the year but will hook up with the club this summer having made just 33 appearances for Cerro Porteno in Paraguay. He has revealed he is hugely excited by the opportunity.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Leon told journalist Matias Cuevas (via <a href="https://sportwitness.co.uk/every-player-dreams-of-this-airport-excitement-as-player-flies-to-join-manchester-united/" target="_blank">Sport Witness</a>): "The sensations are inexplicable. You feel so many things. The truth is, I’m very happy, very happy to be there. I think every player dreams of this, and I have the opportunity. Thank God for the opportunity. I think it was a bit quick, but hey, you have to adapt quickly once you’re there. I’m already a professional. You have to adapt quickly. I'll have to adapt a bit to the climate, the language, and all that. I have a lot of confidence in myself. I'm going to be at the top with them."</p>

WHAT LEON SAID

<p>Leon is not expected to make an instant impact in the first team at Old Trafford but an outlay worth millions of pounds suggests they have high hopes for his future. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/diego-leon-ultra-athletic-goal-scoring-teenager-man-utd-solve-full-back-woes/bltec9a202e96390a1d#csce5edf6130f239d0" target="_blank">The left-back has been described as a "strapping lad" and is an athletic option on the left side of defence</a>.</p>
