Villarreal have confirmed the signing of Manchester United defender Willy Kambwala.
The French-Congolese defender has signed a deal that will keep him at the Spanish topflight side until 2029.
Kambwala made 10 appearances for the Red Devils last season, eight of them in the Premier League.
The 19-year-old was offered a contract extension by the 20-time Premier League winners, but rejected the new terms and opted for a move elsewhere.
