Angelo Henriquez granted Manchester United work permit

Manchester United have confirmed that Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez has been granted a work permit to play for the club.

The 18-year-old will play his final match for current club Universidad de Chile on Wednesday, August 22 against Santos before moving to Old Trafford.

Henriquez caught Sir Alex Ferguson's eye playing for his country in the international Milk Cup youth tournament in Northern Ireland.

United will pay a fee in the region of £3.5m to sign the talented young forward and are expected to make an official announcement to confirm the move later this week.
