Manchester United have completed the signing of Huddersfield Town’s under-15s starlet Rocco Fregapane.
Huddersfield have made a huge reshuffle of their youth academy setup, upgrading from a Category 2 to a Category 4.
Club chairman Dean Hoyle explained these changes by stating: “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.

“Upon review, this is not something that we could claim. This decision has been the biggest we have undertaken in my time as chairman, and not an easy one. However, we cannot be afraid of change. This is a vital area to the long-term success of this club. We must make every effort to get this right.”
