Manchester United midfielder Omari Forson will join Serie A side Monza when his contract at Old Trafford expires later this month.

Forson has signed a deal until June 2028 and Monza say their latest recruit is "one of the most promising prospects in Europe".

The 19-year-old made seven first-team appearances in the 2023-24 season, featuring in matches against Manchester City and Arsenal.

He rejected offers to extend his stay at United.

The London-born player joins a club that finished 12th in Italy's top flight, although it looked like being higher until they ended the season without a victory in their final nine matches.
