Leon's former side has wished him the greatest success as he prepares for the Premier League. A statement from Cerro Porteno read, "We wish the greatest success to the player Diego León, who will continue his career as a professional footballer in England and bring all the Paraguayan talent to the prestigious Premier League."

According to reports, Leon will not be going out on loan. He wants to fight for a spot in a United side that is coming off their worst season in club history. Leon recently spoke about the move, expressing his excitement and confidence in his abilities.

Leon said, "I'm really happy, I think every player dreams of this. When you're a professional, you have to adapt quickly, it is a massive opportunity. I'm going to kill it in pre-season and within one or two games, I'll already be playing with them."
