Manchester United Signs French Forward Enzo Kana-Biyik, Loans to Lausanne-Sport

Manchester United have signed 18-year-old French striker Enzo Kana-Biyik on a free transfer from Le Havre, marking their third signing of the summer. The young forward, who scored nine goals in 18 games for Le Havre's U19 team and was twice named on the senior bench, has signed a long-term deal and will spend the 2025/26 season on loan at Swiss Super League club FC Lausanne-Sport, owned by United's co-owners INEOS. Kana-Biyik, son of former Cameroon international Andre Kana-Biyik, chose United over competition from Monaco and Marseille, exemplifying the club's renewed focus on investing in promising young talent. This signing aligns with a strategy emphasized by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to develop future stars rather than purchasing established superstars. Kana-Biyik joins fellow teenagers Diego Leon and Matheus Cunha among United's summer acquisitions, with further transfer activity expected before the window closes. His loan to Lausanne is intended to provide valuable first-team experience ahead of a potential future role at Old Trafford.
