Hat: Diego León took advantage of the international truce to return to Manchester United's first team. The young Paraguayan side took part in the victory against Lausanne-Sport.

The game was held in private on Friday in Carrington. Manchester United won 2-1 against the Swiss club, in a match designed to offer playing time to the players left in Manchester.

Diego León was one of the youths summoned by Michael Carrick. The 19-year-old left side thus regained the professional group after a period spent mainly with the development teams. However, he has not yet made his official debut with the Red Devils.

Diego León wants to seize his chance

This appearance is a new signal for the former Cerro Porteño player. Arriving in Manchester United in 2025, Leon had already been used in previous friendly matches with the first team, but he is still waiting for a first official appearance.

The context of the meeting, however, was favourable. Carrick had to keep some players pace during the international truce and also opened the door to several young people. Diego León has thus been able to play alongside confirmed players such as Harry Maguire and Matheus Cunha, but also with Carlos Baleba.

This new opportunity could allow the Paraguayan to gradually move closer to the group called to contest the official meetings. For the moment, no public decision by Carrick confirms that León has been permanently integrated into the first team. The young defender must therefore continue to convince his coach.
