Manchester United have completed a signing on the same day Mauricio Pochettino was named as the club's new manager

Mauricio Pochettino is not the only new face at Manchester United. The club have also signed 16-year-old England youth international Tyler Adjei.

This week has been a hectic one for United. Michael Carrick was sent packing on Thursday before Pochettino was officially confirmed as his successor on Friday. The Argentine will assume the role on November 18.

But Carrington will welcome another new arrival, with promising young forward Adjei joining from Reading. He is set to link up with Darren Fletcher's Under-18s side and has been registered as a No. 9.

Sources have praised the athletic teenager after United beat a whole host of other top clubs to secure Adjei's services from the League One club.

Adjei can play across the front three but United view him as a striker. One source told The Athletic: "He's got an athletic profile. He's got more to come physically.

"He moves well. He has a good temperament, mentality and demeanour. He has a good energy to train. He's got a way to go technically, as is the norm for a player of his age."

Adjei is not yet match-fit and will take some time to settle in Manchester after the registration process between the two clubs concluded.

Fletcher's Under-18s have been in fine form this season. Opening up last month after a 6-0 thrashing of Burnley, the coach shed light on his philosophy to MUTV.

"We play attacking football, I know it is in the club's identity and the DNA," Fletcher said. "We want to play fast, direct, attacking football but there is a lot more controlled possession element, that is just the way football is going these days.

"When you attack quickly, fluidly, get people into the box who make really good decisions. The key to football is decision making, so when we got into the final third, the decision making was brilliant today [against Burnley].

"Whether you pass, whether you cross, you shoot or use your team-mate, whether you are running to make space for your team-mate, all that decision-making has been fantastic and I keep challenging them to do that."

Adjei is the latest star to join the Under-18 ranks and he'll be playing alongside some notable names, including Carrick's son, Jacey, and Kai Rooney, the son of United legend Wayne.

Every youngster at the club will have their ears pricked following Pochettino's hiring. The Argentine became renowned for developing young talent during his time at Tottenham, such as Dele Alli and in part, Harry Kane.
