Manchester United academy prospects Silva Mexes, Jaume Camacho and Camrom Mpofu have all joined Jay-Z's talent agency, Roc Nation. Established in 2013, the sports management firm represents some of the biggest stars in football.
Brazilian sensation Vinicius Junior, Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli and Yan Diomande are all clients of Jay-Z's agency. Beyond football, music icons including Alicia Keys, Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, DJ Khaled and Big Sean are also on their books.
The sports management firm has revealed its new 'Class of 2026', featuring up-and-coming footballers earmarked for promising careers. Mexes, Camacho and Mpofu are amongst the group in their latest football recruitment drive.
Mexes is the son of ex-Cardiff City and Nottingham Forest striker Rob Earnshaw. The winger joined United in 2024 and has built a reputation for his blistering speed.
He recently recorded 11.1 seconds over 100 metres. Camacho, who arrived at United from Spain, has appeared for the Under-18s this season, making his debut for the side in December last year, reports the Mirror.
Mpofu rounds off the trio, with the striker catching the eye with his displays at academy level following his switch from Reading. United currently boast a wealth of gifted youngsters in their academy, most notably JJ Gabriel.

The 15-year-old has bagged 18 goals in 19 Premier League U18s matches this campaign, adding two more in the FA Youth Cup. Gabriel participated in first-team training on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
He's presently unable to feature in the Premier League or for the Under-21s in Premier League 2 until next season, as he was only 14 when the campaign commenced. Nevertheless, Michael Carrick continues to involve him with the first-team squad.
Centre-back Albert Mills, 18, was also seen in training on Wednesday having previously participated under Ruben Amorim. The Norwich-born defender scored in the FA Youth Cup victory at Oxford United last month and has made three appearances for the Under-21s.
