  Reports in Belgium have confirmed Manchester United have signed 18-year-old defender Marnick Vermijl from Standard Liege.

  Vermijl is a versatile defender who can play all across the backline but is predominantly a right back.

  He is expected to join up with Manchester United in time for the start of the 2010/11 season and will join Sir Alex Ferguson’s first team squad.

  Scouts from the Premier League champions spotted Vermijl, despite the fact he has never played a first team game for the Belgian side.

  Vermijl joins Ritchie De Laet as the second Belgian defender at Manchester United.
