Manchester United have already signed one high-potential South American this summer, and could be about to make it a double.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ineos\u2019 transfer philosophy at Manchester United<\/a> is to sign top-class youngsters from around the world.<\/p>\n

This has been the case for over a year, since Sir Jim Ratcliffe outlined a desire to sign the \u2018next Kylian Mbappe\u2019<\/a>, opposed to having to spend big on signing players for north of \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n

Last summer, United signed Sekou Kone<\/a> and Chido Obi<\/a> to fit this bill, with both on the cusp of the first team one year on from arriving. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, January saw Ayden Heaven<\/a> sign for United from Arsenal. After joining, the teenager instantly became a starter with Ruben Amorim praising Heaven<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This summer has also seen this trend continue already with United signing Diego Leon for \u00a33.2m<\/a>. The Paraguayan is a top talent and one who arrives from South America with plenty of hype, but he might soon be joined by an Argentinian.<\/p>\n

With United having a stretched budget, it might be that Christopher Vivell and Jason Wilcox are given license to go out and sign wonderkids for cheap in order to bolster Amorim\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

In recent days, this has seen United linked with a \u00a39m move for Milton Delgado<\/a>, with the defensive midfielder tumbling down the pecking order for Boca Juniors.<\/p>\n

Delgado is highly rated in his home country and has been praised by World Cup-winning Argentine Leandro Paredes, who has recently joined Boca, as quoted by TYC Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see Milton Delgado in very good shape. I saw him play two or three matches on TV and also when we played at Hurac\u00e1n\u2019s pitch in Bah\u00eda Blanca.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had never seen him in person before, and he plays very well: he\u2019s very intelligent and tries to play vertically. I hope he continues to grow and try to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paredes was one of Europe\u2019s most underrated defensive midfielders for the past half-decade, and so he is well positioned to be praising Delgado, and this should excite United if this \u00a39m interest is acted upon. <\/p>\n

Paredes might have just replaced Delgado at Boca Juniors<\/p>\n

High praise from Paredes on Delgado can now be done in person, with Paredes officially joining Boca Juniors this summer.<\/p>\n

Paredes arrives at Boca as a likely sure starter under the management of Miguel Angel Russo, who has already pushed Delgado down the pecking order, and so this move will only further hinder his development.<\/p>\n

As a result, the 20-year-old will surely be looking for a new challenge, and if United presents him with an escape route, he might very well take it.<\/p>\n

Delgado would likely be a squad player at Old Trafford<\/a>; however, this will surely be very tempting and he would have the chance to learn under Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte, who he is a similar player to in terms of his tenacity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
