Alan McCready took an early flight to Germany Thursday night, and reports emerged, the following morning that this was to meet with the family and agent of Madrid youngster Dirk Traub. While media and competitor attention lay focused on Traub and his agents whereabouts, McCready has swooped in to sign a promising youngster from FSV Mainz.
We introduce you to United's first signing of the transfer window,
German Striker, Left Winger Markus Berger
At just 15 years, this is one of United's youngest signings, but Alan McCready has full confidence in the striker's ability and potential.
" We've been following Markus's progress for a while now. Nils Scharner spotted the young lad in an exhibition game for the football academy here at Mainz. He scored 3 goals in that game and set up another. His performances have been consistent and hes made good progress at the academy. We decided it was the right time to make a move for the player since we feel he will develop better under Ole and Rene's guidance."
Meanwhile United Managing Director Guiseppe Boscolo and Coach Rene Meulensteen were present as the club announced the signing of promising England youngster Tom France from West Ham, for an undisclosed fee. France made several appearance for the West Ham under 18s last season and generated interest from several top clubs including Newcastle, Chelsea and FC Bayern.
