Manchester United have raided another British rival to strengthen their options for the future.
Earlier this month, United agreed the signing of 18-year-old winger Tynan Thompson from Tottenham Hotspur. Despite no senior minutes under his belt, the former Spurs talent is expected to be part of Michael Carrick’s side in Manchester.
Now, United have made a similar signing for their goalkeeping department.
Manchester United have officially completed the deal to sign exciting young goalkeeper Kit Margetson from Swansea City.
“Everyone at United would like to welcome Kit to the club and wish him the very best of luck for the future,” United said in a statement.

Meanwhile, in their statement, the Welsh side confirmed that the two clubs have agreed a compensation package for the 20-year-old, paving the way for him to move to Carrington.
The 6’4″ beast ended last season with 10 clean sheets in 34 games in all competitions for Connah’s Quay.
In March, it was reported that United’s highly respected goalkeeping scout Tony Coton was in attendance at a Cymru Premier fixture to watch Margetson.
