Manchester United had already reached a transfer agreement with Ovri this summer, and after going through the lengthy Premier League approval process, the transfer has finally been completed.
Manchester United has officially completed the signing of 17-year-old Australian right-back star James Ovri. Ovri, who holds dual British and Australian citizenship, came through the youth ranks at A-League club Perth Glory and has made appearances for the Perth Glory first team in pre-season friendlies.
Last year, Ovri moved to England with his family. The player has signed a three-year contract with Manchester United. It is understood that he turned down offers from West Ham, Everton, Leicester City, and other teams to join Manchester United. In the new season, Ovri will first play for Manchester United’s U18 squad.
