Manu Kone Set to Join Manchester United

Manu Kone is becoming a recognizable name in English football.

A couple of years ago, he was linked with Liverpool Football Club.

Along with Khephren Thuram, Kone was rumored to be moving to Anfield, but nothing happened.

Instead, Kone joined Roma in 2024 on a season-long loan before making a permanent transfer at the start of this season.

The 24-year-old French midfielder moved from Germany, where he played for Borussia Monchengladbach, and has become an essential player for Roma.

Kone has played every minute of the current Serie A season, helping Roma secure fourth place in the standings.

Roma is just 3 points behind leaders Inter Milan in one of the most competitive Serie A races in recent history.

Kone’s impressive form has also caught the attention of clubs beyond Italy.

Manchester United is reportedly interested.

Many know that Manchester United is looking to strengthen their midfield.

A shortlist of midfield targets has been created, primarily focusing on players in the English Premier League.

However, new reports suggest that Kone might be joining the club.

Journalist Francesca Teodori mentioned during a Twitch session on ASRomaLive that Manchester United will sign Manu Kone next summer.

She noted, “It’s not new information, but it’s a fairly credible rumor.”

Teodori added that multiple sources have indicated Kone will leave Roma in June to join Manchester United.

Roma is also linked with Joshua Zirkzee, and Teodori discussed the possibility of a swap deal.

She stated, “I’m not sure if this relates to the Zirkzee deal. He might be included as a counterpart. It remains to be seen, but Kone appears eager for the move to United in June.”

Teodori seems very confident about Kone’s potential transfer to Manchester United, and it will be interesting to see if other sources support this claim in the coming days.
