Transfer news: Man City set to complete deal to sign Man United youngster Harrison Parker

Sports report

Harrison Parker is a 16-year-old youth player who has moving from Manchester United to Manchester City. Parker is a defender by trade, and the 2022/23 season was his first where he got a taste of U18s football. He has got a bit of a habit of crossing enemy lines. He was a youth recruit from Arsenal in 2021. After playing for one season in the level below U18s, he was drafted to the U18s for the 2022/23 season. He is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in England’s youth circuit so this news will undoubtedly come as a blow to United.

Manchester City are set to complete a deal to sign Manchester United youngster Harrison Parker today. Back in July, news broke that City were close to luring Parker from United to the Etihad Stadium. It was relayed that the Premier League champions beat four other clubs to the 17-year-old’s services, despite the Red Devils’ best attempts to keep the player. Manchester United were said to have offered Parker a very lucrative deal to ward off Pep Guardiola’s side but this did not convince him to reverse his decision to leave.

According to reports, if he had accepted the terms, the defender would have become United's highest-paid youth player. Fabrizio Romano has given an update and confirmed that City are on track to get their man by the end of the day. He simply quote tweeted his previous tweet from July with a tick symbol, indicating that the transfer is all but done.

The Italian journalist then put out a follow-up post and said, “Manchester City will formally complete both Divine Mukasa and Harrison Parker deals today.” “Documents being signed, then time to announce.” “Parker joins from Man United, exclusive news confirmed Mukasa joins from West Ham.” Manchester City’s acquisition of Parker comes after the Red Devils managed to pluck both Jack and Tyler Fletcher from them. The highly-rated Fletcher twins are the sons of former United star Darren Fletcher and joined the U18 team this summer, in what was seen as an ambitious addition to the club’s academy set-up.
