Leon: Playing for Manchester United will make Paraguayan fans proud, and playing for my country also makes me very proud

November 15th: Manchester United defender Diego Leon is preparing with the Paraguay national team for friendly matches against the United States and Mexico. Paraguay has qualified for next summer's World Cup. The 18-year-old Leon has performed well for Manchester United's U21 team and hopes to continue to improve on this basis. He made his international debut against South Korea last month.

Leon said in an interview with the club media: "For Paraguay, it is a great thing to have players playing at a big club like Manchester United. I think Paraguayan fans are very proud to see players from their country playing for such a great club.

"Of course, representing the country is a wonderful and unique feeling for all Paraguayans. I don’t know how to describe this feeling, it’s a huge honor for my family to see me put on the national team jersey. "

When asked to describe his country to someone unfamiliar with Paraguay, Leon said: "Paraguayans will surprise you, they are very kind and will always try to help you even if they don't have much material conditions. "
