Man Utd land first summer signing: 19-year-old GK Margetson

Manchester United are closing in on their first summer signing, agreeing terms with 19-year-old Swansea City goalkeeper Kit Margetson on a free transfer. Margetson’s contract talks at the Liberty Stadium collapsed this month, leaving the teenager available. United will integrate him into their Under-21 setup as the club prepares for a major reshuffle between the posts.

The move signals the beginning of the club’s summer business under manager Michael Carrick, who inherits a goalkeeping roster in flux. Sources indicate United view Margetson as a low-cost, high-upside gamble on youth rather than an immediate first-team replacement. His arrival comes as Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir appear destined to leave Old Trafford, with the club expected to pursue a more established senior option to compete in the Premier League next season.
