Manchester United have completed a deal to sign 16-year-old Liverpool midfielder Isaac Konde, with transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reporting that the formal steps were finalised within the last 24 hours.
Konde has featured six times for Liverpool’s U18s in the Premier League this season, contributing one assist. The move represents a direct raid on a Premier League rival’s academy, with United securing the teenager for their own youth setup at Old Trafford.
The signing is part of a broader effort by United to reinforce their academy ranks following a number of departures in recent weeks. The club has been active in the youth market as it looks to rebuild its pipeline of homegrown talent.
The news also comes as Premier League champions Arsenal confirmed the permanent signings of Habeeb Ogunneye and James Scanlon from the recent summer transfer windows, underlining the competition among top clubs to recruit the best young talent in England.
