Manchester United have signed Huddersfield and England Under-15s star Rocco Fregapane.

The Terriers underwent a major academy reshuffle recently with Chairman Dean Hoyle seemingly citing a lack of success.

The move is due to a perceived lack of success according to club chairman Dean Hoyle, according to the Sun

He explained: “Our Academy system must provide a strong and obvious pathway to the first-team for players who are good enough, whilst also representing value for the club.

United - who lost 2-1 to Huddersfield in the Premier League on Saturday - appear to have taken advantage, by landing youngster Fregapane.

Sam Fregapane, assumed to be father of Rocco, said on Facebook: "Well done to Rocco who today signed for Man Utd and he is off on England duty next week for the Under-15s.

"We are so proud of you."

The teenager has gone ahead on his Instagram account to show he’s now a Man United player.
