Manchester United have completed the signing of Wales Under-21 goalkeeper Kit Margetson for a reported £25m fee.
Margetson's move to Old Trafford comes after his Swansea City contract expired this summer. The 20-year-old had announced earlier this month that he would be leaving the Championship club.
Margetson played regular senior football during a loan spell with Connah's Quay Nomads in the Cymru Premier last season, while at Swansea, he did not make a first-team appearance. He did, however, gain experience at under-15 level with the Swans, which entitled them to a compensation fee for his development.
The deal marks a reunion of sorts for Margetson, whose father Martyn left his role as Swansea's head of goalkeeping at the end of the 2025-26 campaign. It's unclear what the future holds for the young goalkeeper at Manchester United, with the club not specifying the length of his contract at Old Trafford.
Margetson's Wales Under-21 team will likely be watching his progress with interest, as he looks to establish himself as a first-team regular in the Premier League. His signing is a significant coup for United, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Manchester United's new signings are set to face stiff competition for places in the first team, but Margetson's potential and experience gained at Connah's Quay Nomads could see him push for a spot in the squad.
The exact terms of Margetson's contract and how he will fit into United's squad dynamics remain to be seen, but one thing is certain: the young goalkeeper is set to face a new challenge in his career.
