They issued a statement which said: “Manchester United have agreed the signing of exciting young winger Tynan Thompson, subject to registration. The England youth international has joined from Tottenham Hotspur.
“The 18-year-old scored 13 goals and contributed six assists last season across Under-18s to Under-21s level, including seven goals in seven UEFA Youth League games. His performances earned him opportunities within Spurs’ first-team matchday squads.
“Everyone at United would like to welcome Tynan to the club and wish him the very best of luck for the future.”

For Thompson, the move represents an opportunity to continue his footballing education at one of Europe’s most celebrated academies. He will now look to impress United’s coaching staff as he progresses through the age groups with the aim of eventually earning opportunities at senior level.
