Liverpool wonderkid Isaac Konde has officially moved to arch-rivals Manchester United..

Manchester United announced on their official website on Wednesday that arch-rivals Liverpool's wonderkid Isaac Konde has officially joined the club.

According to Manchester United's official statement, Konde has signed a one-year scholarship deal and is set to sign his first professional contract, a five-year deal, upon turning 17. Manchester United will also pay Liverpool a youth compensation fee of nearly £2 million.

Konda is the second young player in recent days to move to Manchester United from a direct rival.

Not long ago, the Red Devils also signed England U17s international Karim Cassim from their local rivals, Manchester City.

It is worth mentioning that while the intense rivalry between the two clubs means direct transfers of first-team players between them have become virtually non-existent, the movement of youth players between the two academies is not uncommon.

Before joining Manchester United, Konde had even reportedly attracted interest from clubs such as Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund.
