Inside story of Diego Leon signing for Manchester United
It must have felt like a long wait for Diego, who was first linked with the club many months ago, something he admitted felt “incredible.”
Now? It’s his reality. This is his place of work.
After a light first training session at Carrington, he was at Old Trafford for a quick photoshoot in our new home kit. Before that, some introductions, to some new, and some familiar, faces.
Jumping out of the INEOS Grenadier, Diego greeted the United translator who’s been giving him English lessons in recent weeks. Leon’s been a keen learner. English is uncommon in Paraguay, unlike in some other South American nations.
Even before signing for United, Diego had been seeking out fellow speakers to practise his first words with, and has since lined up a string of sessions to help get him settled into living here.
