In their ongoing search to strengthen their squad, Manchester United have set their sights on young Ecuadorian midfielder Óscar Zambrano, according to an exclusive report from El Futbolero. The English club, known as the Red Devils, see Zambrano as the “next Moisés Caicedo” and are ready to take on Luton Town and Brighton & Hove Albion, both from the Premier League, in an intense three-way battle.
At 19 years old, Óscar Zambrano is considered one of the most promising young talents in South America. With a meteoric rise through the ranks of LDU Quito, the midfielder has racked up almost 50 appearances for the main team since his debut in April 2022, contributing to his personal tally with a goal and an assist.

The Ecuadorian pearl that is in Manchester United's sights
Interest from big-name clubs is nothing new for Zambrano, having already been linked with Barcelona in the summer transfer window. However, attention now turns to the Premier League, with Manchester United taking the lead and labeling Zambrano as the 'next Moisés Caicedo', who was linked with FC Barcelona in the last summer transfer window, according to El Futbolero.
This nickname becomes relevant due to the connection between both players, as they began their youth careers at the same academy, Colorado's Jaipadida. Manchester United, who had previously considered Moisés Caicedo, are determined not to miss the opportunity this time and are in tough competition with Luton Town and Brighton & Hove Albion to sign the talented midfielder.
The uncertainty surrounding Casemiro's future at Manchester United makes the possibility of Old Trafford becoming Óscar Zambrano's next destination even more attractive. The outcome of this three-way battle will undoubtedly be an exciting story in the transfer window, with fans wondering whether Luton Town or Brighton & Hove Albion can overtake the English giants in the race to sign the 'next Moisés Caicedo'.
