Colombians are spread all over the world. In every country there is a Colombian family that for some reason came to that country. These Colombians have raised their families and their children have football DNA in their blood. It is natural that these boys and girls, as soon as they start walking, start playing with a football and many go on to play as professionals.

At Manchester United in the lower divisions there is Mateo Mejía, a Colombian-Spanish player who plays as a winger and forward for the Red Devils' Under 21s. This footballer has been developing very well and has even trained with the English first team. The future of this star to jump to the professional team seems to be close to Spain.

The winger will travel to Spain before Monday to present his medical exams,” said Sierra.
