This week, a worried Paul Parker came out and thought the club he served in the 1990s could be heading for another season of “Theatre of Nightmares” at Old Trafford. The former United player called for at least four signings before the start of the season to avoid this. On Thursday, the next signing came. Exciting, but hardly the one Parker was waiting for.
For Enzo Kana-Biyik, a big day signing for one of the world’s biggest clubs, the 18-year-old has worked his way up from Le Havre’s academy and was on the threshold of his senior debut. There will now be no debut for the striker talent, not even at Manchester United.

United report the newly signed player will be sent directly on loan to INEOS-owned Lausanne-Sport in Swiss football. Kana-Biyik is considered a great striker talent in France and has banged in goals for Le Havre’s age-specific team. The French club did not succeed in persuading the teenager to extend his contract that expired in the summer, for Manchester United it was therefore a “free transfer” signing with the player who has seven appearances for the French U18 national team behind him.

It is clear that Manchester United are now working to avoid years of goal drought in their strikers over the next five or ten years. A group of strikers will be built up here who will fight to be the one who scores the club back to greatness. Kana-Biyik should have the potential.
