00:04Leon. The club had made some pretty significant decisions around the 18-year-old which indicated

00:10the recruitment department believed he had a bright future even before they opened their

00:14pre-season campaign with a 0-0 draw against newly promoted leads. For a start, they invested to

00:20bring the Paraguay under-20 international over from South America. They then gave him a prized

00:26first-team shirt, No. 30, and let highly-rated English youngster Harry Amass leave on loan

00:30rather than let him compete with Leon for what is presumed to be the backup left-wing back

00:34slot. Head coach Ruben Amram opted to start Leon against Leeds in Stockholm, with Matthäus

00:40Cunha, a summer signing from Wolves, also appearing in a Manchester United shirt for the first time.

00:46And there were little signs that, with the right work ethic, a willingness to listen and

00:50enough motivation, Leon could be a very useful asset.
