Last week, L’Equipe reported Manchester United are preparing to complete the signing of Enzo Kana-Biyik. Now it’s happening, that is.
This is a teenage striker who has impressed in Le Havre’s reserve team. Known for his physical attributes, the 18-year-old forward has built a reputation for being strong in duels, while also showing surprising agility and quick movements for his physique. Despite not yet featuring in Le Havre’s senior team, performances have consistently attracted scouts, but United have been quick to move forward and have now agreed a transfer.
He has been a regular for the Le Havre U19 team since the start of 2025, playing 90 minutes in each of their last eight league games and scoring four goals, bringing him to eight goals.
The youngster has also played for France’s U18 team this season, but has yet to find the back of the net on the international stage.
Kana-Biyik comes from a proper football family. Son of former footballer and Cameroon international André Kana-Biyik. If you think Le Havre and the Manchester United link sounds familiar, then yes, this was the club United brought Paul Pogba from as a sixteen-year-old.

Kana-Biyik is scheduled to be loaned out to Ineos-owned Lausanne-Sport, the club Manchester United partnered with last autumn.
Exciting, long-term investment for United.
