Jay Z Officially Signs Three Manchester United Players

Roc Nation, the sports and entertainment agency founded by rapper-turned-mogul Jay-Z, has expanded its football portfolio by securing representation rights to three of Manchester United’s most promising academy prospects. The trio—Jaume Camacho, Silva Mexes and Camron Mpofu—have been unveiled as part of Roc Nation’s newly announced ‘Class of 2026’, a five-player cohort scouted from England’s elite youth systems.

Camacho, a Spanish midfielder, arrived at United’s academy with a reputation for composure and vision. He wasted little time validating the hype, making his Under-18 debut in December and immediately influencing matches with his metronomic passing and game intelligence.

Mexes, a Wales youth international signed in 2024, has turned heads with raw pace—clocking 11.1 seconds over 100 metres—but coaches inside Carrington insist the winger’s direct dribbling and relentless aggression are equally vital weapons.

Completing the United contingent is Mpofu, a Scotland youth striker who joined from Reading. At youth level the forward has become synonymous with bullish hold-up play and ruthless finishing, offering United’s academy attack a physical edge it previously lacked.

While Roc Nation’s ‘Class of 2026’ also includes youngsters from Manchester City and Fulham, the capture of three United talents underscores the club’s enduring ability to produce marketable prospects and Roc Nation’s growing influence within European football’s pipeline.

Roc Nation, launched by Jay-Z in 2008, has methodically built a football division that balances global stars with emerging names, and the addition of these United teenagers signals another strategic push toward shaping the next generation well before they reach senior spotlight.
