During last year’s U17 World Cup, Mali U17 midfielder Sekou Kone impressed, leading Mali U17 to a third-place finish after a string of victories. Notably, Kone led his team to a 3-0 victory over Argentina U17 in the third-place match. Kone has since become a highly sought-after prospect, drawing interest from European giants like Liverpool and Manchester United. According to renowned journalist Romano, Manchester United has signed the Malian star Kone.
European media has high praise for Kone. At only 18 years old, the midfielder has limited international experience, but his performances in those limited opportunities have been flawless. Whether it’s passing organization or defensive interceptions, Kone has impressed. Because he’s a defensive midfielder, media have likened him to the next Yaya Toure or Michael Essien.
Regarding Kone’s arrival, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has formulated a detailed integration plan. Considering Kone’s young age and move from the African continent to England, he’ll need to adapt to many new things. To help Kone integrate and adapt to life in England, ten Hag plans for him to join Manchester United U21, where he can start to adjust to his new surroundings and improve before potentially joining the first team.
In the first round of the new Premier League season, Manchester United beat Fulham 1-0 to secure an opening win with new signing Rasmus Højlund scoring the winning goal. Now, in the second round of the new Premier League season, Manchester United will face Brighton, who won their first match of the season with a big victory.
