Manchester United announced on Tuesday morning that Aliou Traore had signed a professional contract with the 20-time English champions.
Traore has been training with Man United since last summer, but only joined the club as a youth player at the start of December 2017.
The midfielder turned 17 on Monday, and has now signed his first professional contract with the Red Devils.
It would be fair to say that there is a lot of excitement surrounding the teenager, who has been compared to Paul Pogba when it comes to his style of play on the field.
Man United had to pay £89m to re-sign Pogba after the Frenchman left for Juventus, but the club’s fans will be hoping that Traore stays at the Theatre of Dreams for a long time.
The Premier League giants announced the contract news on Monday, and the club’s supporters were on hand to reveal their excitement on social media.
