"Manchester United have taken a promising Irish defender on trial at Carrington this week, looking to add to the growing list of youth players signed by INEOS. After parting ways with Ruben Amorim, Manchester United have won both of their games under new manager and former player Michael Carrick. The Red Devils' latest victory came against Arsenal in a 3-2 thriller at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, that ended with a Matheus Cunha screamer in the 87th minute."
"Ikechimka Manjor, known as Ike Manjor, featured in an U18's training video posted by a former Ireland international whose son also plays in the squad. Now, it has been claimed by Rep of Ireland Player Tracker on X that Manjor, who signed his first professional deal with Cork City last year, is on trial at Carrington this week. The claim was then seemingly confirmed by a retweet from Manchester United youth expert Nathan Salt."
Manchester United hosted 16-year-old Irish centre-back Ikechimka Manjor on trial at Carrington as part of ongoing youth recruitment supported by INEOS. Manjor signed his first professional deal with Cork City last year after moving from the Treaty Academy in 2025. The defender featured in an under-18s training video and has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and multiple top clubs across Europe. Manjor turns 17 in February, which prevents a permanent United signing until 2027, although a pre-agreement could be possible. Manchester United continue to expand their youth ranks alongside players such as Chido Obi and Charlie Hardy.
