Manchester United have confirmed Chilean teenager Angelo Henriquez has been granted a work permit which will enable him to complete his move to the Red Devils.
Speaking last week to Chilean paper La Tercera, Henriquez expressed his delight in signing with United .
“I am super happy to get to Manchester United. I’m fulfilling a dream. I am going where I wanted.
‘You look on television and see the outstanding players, scoring spectacular goals. I cannot waste this opportunity.
‘It is not clear what will happen with my future. I want to play in the first team of Manchester United. That’s my first thought.
‘If they decide to send me on loan, I would prefer to continue at Universidad, although I will do whatever United deem appropriate.”
United have announced that Angelo Henriquez has been granted a governing body endorsement which will allow the striker to register and play for the club.
The 18-year-old will play his final game for Universidad de Chile against Santos on Wednesday and a further announcement on him joining the Reds will be made in due course.
Henriquez has already expressed his delight at signing for United after the club followed up a long-standing interest in the Chilean youngster.
In addition to impressing for Universidad de Chile in the Copa Libertadores, he also shone for his country at the recent Milk Cup youth tournament in Northern Ireland, scoring twice against the home nation in a 5-3 win.
