MANCHESTER UNITED have finally made another summer signing after landing 15-year-old defender Harley Emsden James.

James clocked up two appearances in the U18 Premier League last season.
And he has also been a regular for England’s U15s side.
United feel they have landed a real gem in James, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Southampton are thought to have snubbed multiple offers for him over the past year.
James had interest from , Man City, Spurs, Aston Villa and Newcastle.
But he ultimately decided to plump for United.
And the Red Devils believe James can eventually break into the side in the same way as Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven.
James is United’s latest signing of the summer following Matheus Cunha’s £62.5million switch from Wolves.
The Brazilian remains the only senior capture for Ruben Amorim so far, with teen left-back Diego Leon also joining.
Meanwhile, United remain keen on wrapping up a deal for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.
However, the Bees have so far rejected two offers.
They believe Mbeumo should be fetching as much as Cunha did.
And it remains to be seen how long it takes for United to return with a third offer.
