Man Utd Appear to Complete First Summer Signing as Young Ajax Star Announces Move on Instagram

Manchester United appear to have dipped their toes into the summer transfer market by snapping up teenage sensation Dillon Hoogewerf from Ajax.

The 16-year-old announced the move in a post on his Instagram feed, after turning down the opportunity to sign a professional contract at the Amsterdam Arena.

The teenager, who has already represented Netherlands at Under-19 level, has not yet been officially announced as a new signing by United - but it posts show a transition from Hoogewerf wearing an Ajax kit, before it morphs into the Red Devils home shirt.
