Manchester United Eyes Young Midfielder

Rising Star at LDU Quito

The defensive midfielder currently plays for LDU Quito and made his debut in the Ecuador U17 national team at the young age of 15.

Growing Interest from Top Clubs

Now 16 years old, Castillo has caught the attention of scouts from Manchester United, having already gained experience in senior-level matches with LDU Quito.

Reports from Bolavip indicate that United is intensifying their pursuit of the young player, but they are not the only major club interested.

Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are also showing interest in Castillo, although he cannot transfer to a European club until he turns 18.

Regular Scout Attendance

In a noteworthy development, Manchester United scouts have reportedly been attending LDU Quito training sessions on a regular basis to monitor Castillo’s progress closely.

Potential Influence from Antonio Valencia

An added advantage for Manchester United could be their historical connection with LDU Quito through former club captain Antonio Valencia, who may play a role in influencing Castillo’s ultimate decision regarding his future.
