From Carrington to Dream Theater, another young Red Devils player signed a professional contract.

Many media reported that on Wednesday local time, 17-year-old Manchester United youth training teenager Bendito Mantato signed his first professional contract with the club at the Carrington training base.

Mantato was born in Manchester on January 25, 2008. He entered Manchester United's youth training academy at the age of 9. He played as a winger and also played as a full-back. His playing style is similar to Arsenal player Saka. This season, Mantato has played 20 games for Manchester United's U18 and U21 teams, scoring 10 goals and assisting 6 times.

Mantato is considered one of the best players in Manchester United's youth training camp. Previously, transfer expert Romano revealed in April that Manchester United will provide Mantato with his first professional contract to reward his outstanding performance. Later, due to details, the signing was postponed for some time.

Now everything has been confirmed, Mantato officially signed with Manchester United for four years on Wednesday until June 2029.

Manchester United technical director Jason Wilcox played a key role in Mantato's signing. The young all-rounder has also been highly praised by coach Amorin and has been training with the first team several times.

Due to his experience as a left-back, Mantato has stronger defensive awareness than ordinary wingers. One statistics: Mantato's success rate of back-tracking and tackle is as high as 68%, and has good tactical discipline. Amorin may transform him into a wingback in the future.

Last week, Manchester United went to Bilbao, and the Red Devils officially announced that they would add Mantato to the UEFA B roster. He felt the atmosphere of the first team on the bench.

Next Manchester United has three games left in the Premier League, and Amorin may give Mantato a chance to play, allowing him to complete his club's senior team debut.
