Who Is Biancheri?

The 16-year-old has been described as a ‘pacy, sharp and dynamic forward’ who can play in multiple roles across the frontline. He can also operate as a no.9, a position where United have been trying to promote talents from their youth academy for many years. Biancheri was labelled ‘fantastic‘ for stepping up for the Cardiff youth side by under-18s manager Steve Jenkins – indicating that the Red Devils might’ve acquired a potentially major talent for the future.
