Manchester United have secured the signature of promising young goalkeeper Kit Margetson, marking their fourth summer acquisition as they intensify their pursuit of Manu Kone. The 19-year-old shot-stopper arrives at Old Trafford following the expiration of his contract with Swansea City, a club where he developed from the Under-15 ranks to the senior squad.
United have reached an agreement with Swansea over a compensation package, acknowledging the Welsh club’s entitlement due to Margetson’s progression through their academy system. The goalkeeper, who has represented Wales at Under-21 level, is the son of Martyn Margetson, a former England and Swansea goalkeeper who currently serves as Wales’ goalkeeping coach.
Margetson gained valuable senior experience last season on loan at Connah’s Quay Nomads in the Cymru Premier, where he featured in 34 matches and kept 10 clean sheets. His contributions were instrumental in helping the Welsh side secure qualification for the Europa League.
An official statement from Manchester United confirmed the deal, describing Margetson as an “exciting young goalkeeper” and noting that the signing remains subject to registration. The club highlighted his long-standing association with Swansea City and praised his breakthrough into senior football during his loan spell.
This addition reflects United’s ongoing commitment to strengthening their squad with emerging talent, as they continue to explore further reinforcements ahead of the new campaign.
