United agree first option on Chilean striker Henriquez as youngster trains in Manchester
Manchester United have agreed a first option on Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez, 16.
The Universidad de Chile striker has impressed in the South American Under 17 Championship in Ecuador, and has trained in Manchester.
'Of course it is amazing that a team like Manchester United have taken an interest in me. They are a huge team at a world level and playing for them would be a dream come true,' Henriquez admitted to Triunfo.
'I know that if I want to be a footballer, I have to be very professional and not get caught up in the parties or the gossip columns, besides I don't like that sort of thing.
'For now I am only thinking about my club, making my debut and performing; because Manchester United have told me that I have to start getting experience to make the move to England.'

one of the most impressive cfwds of the tournament (u17 south american championship). plays in the middle up front in a 4-3-3 system
possesses great variety of skills, physically/technically. extremely hard working (!), outstanding runner (bursts/20-30 meters), fine touch
right footed but uses left to fine level (shots, passes), smart movement, ok body strength, brain/skill to play effective combinations
maybe lacks a few cms (hard to tell his exact size, i'd guess 178-180 cm), and would probably eventually be used as a second striker
the talk here in ecuador is that manchester united signed an option to buy henriquez already a year ago
don't know regarding eu passport, but unlikely to make much difference. as a top chilean talent, he'll get a work permit (at 18) anyhow
