1/ Moises Caicedo [nearly] to Man United getting the Fabrizio confirmation.

For those of you who don’t know about the 19-year-old star from Ecuador, I can’t even begin to tell you how talented he is. The ceiling is also EXTREMELY high. https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1341670829856346113
2/ Moises is an engine of a midfielder, extremely comfortable playing in front of the front four as much as he is being an attacking force, driving forward without an inch of fear.

A major influence on his game is N’Golo Kante and I am telling you, there are major similarities.
3/ He also, to me, has sparks of Claude Makelele, able to break an opponent’s mindset in possession.

It’s worth noting that he’s young and there is plenty to work with, but my god, he is a STAR in the making.

His hero is Antonio Valencia so going to United is a dream for him.
4/ Caicedo comes from Independiente del Valle, one of the best clubs in South America but most importantly - one of the strongest when it comes to player development. They discovered Moises when he was 13 and from that moment, they took care of him, helping him as not just a
5/ smart player but a strong human being, able to understand the complexities of the game.

Most importantly, this is a good kid, a hard working kid whose future is as bright as his smile.

Please, United fans. Be patient and be good to him.
6/ Finally, thank you United. For doing something the Bundesliga has been doing more aggressively these last few years, but you are now catching up. For paying attention to South American gems and giving them a chance (shoutout to Newcastle and Rodrigo Vilca!)
7/ Now, Villa. Go out there and buy Renato Tapia next summer and someone get Pedro Aquino to Europe 😝
8/ I dedicate this thread to my dad, my good friend and Ecuatoriano @mauriizurieta and of course - the ultimate United legend @Nigerianscamsss 🙌🏽
9/ I just want to add one more thing to this thread. My dad was a huge United fan so I will always have a soft spot for them, even when they took my hero Dwight Yorke. So there's a special kind of excitement from up above when I think of another South American entering the club.
10/ A LOT of United fans just started following me.

Bless you all, fam.

Just a disclaimer STRAIGHT AWAY. I am a lifelong Villa fan.

You've been warned.
