Manchester United look to be making plans for the future.

Louis van Gaal and Co. are reported to have secured the signature of 17-year-old winger Luis Hernandez from Deportivo Saprissa.

The Costa Rican is almost the perfect fit for the plans of LVG as he can play as both left winger and left wing back and, after a trial with the Red Devils last season, he looks to finally be on his way to Old Trafford.

That’s according to The Guardian’s David Hytner.

Hernandez currently captains his country’s U17 side and, according to coach Randall Chacon: “The information I have is that this boy, Hernandez, is almost certain to be signed by Manchester United.”
