Canada invites Manchester United teenager to take part in camp as training player – National

Canada coach Jesse Marsch has invited 18-year-old Manchester United academy forward Gabriele Biancheri to train with his team ahead of next month’s ********* Shield tournament in Toronto.

Biancheri spent nine years at Cardiff City before joining Manchester United on a four-year deal in February 2023 as a 16-year-old. The Cardiff-born Biancheri, whose mother was born in Canada, has represented Wales at youth level and is also eligible for England and Italy.

The teenager started for Wales in European Under-19 Championship qualifiers against England, Portugal and Turkey in March, scoring against Turkey. He has scored in bunches for the United academy and trained with the first team, amidst reports that the Premier League side has already turned down a transfer offer for the young striker from Italy’s Como.

The training camp invitation is a chance for Biancheri to see the ********* setup as Marsch continues his hunt for talent.
