Manchester United is expected to sign AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone next summer, according to reliable reports from Italy.
Manager Ruben Amorim is looking to refresh his midfield, with Manchester United showing interest in targets like Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba.
Kone has become a possible candidate, and journalist Francesca Teodori reported a strong likelihood of the 12-cap France international transferring to Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old has made a mark since joining Roma from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2023. This season, Kone is among Serie A’s top players for pass completion (10th), progressive passes (4th), and fouls drawn (8th).
