Manchester United have reportedly completed the signing of former Arsenal goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk.
The Red Devils have had an incredibly busy summer snapping up numerous young talents such as Chido Obi- Martin, Samuel Lusale and Sekou Kone.
Stealing a march on rivals to secure the best young talent has become a clear objective of the new owners, Ineos.
Resultingly, it was reported a few weeks ago that the club were set to sign Graczyk who was a free agent after leaving Arsenal last season.
Whilst not being officially announced by the club, the move was all but confirmed when he was named on the bench for the under 21s fixture against Blackburn in a 3-1 win last night.
The Manchester Evening News report that “Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk after he was released by Arsenal.”
“It is understood a deal for Graczyk was completed earlier in the summer and he will be formally announced when United publish their Professional Development League squad.”
United are in need of academy goalkeepers after having let Radek Vitek go on loan to Blau-Weiß Linz and Elyh Harrison to Chester.
Therefore, it is likely that the Pole will play a sizeable role in the under 21s season.
The 21 year old is experienced at this level having played 31 times for Arsenal’s under 23s and he has also represented National League South side Slough Town on four occasions.
He has been described as “a confident and vocal goalkeeper who relishes contributing to build-up play.”
He will no doubt be excited about the chance to train with the senior keeping group of Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton and perhaps even push his way into Erik ten Hag’s plans in the long term.
