Malian teenage sensation Sekou Kone is poised to showcase his potential with Manchester United’s first team next season.
The 18-year-old, who joined the club last summer for £1 million following an impressive performance at the 2023 U17 World Cup, is being groomed for a gradual integration into the senior setup under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Since his arrival, Kone has been honing his skills with Manchester United’s Under-21 side, adapting to the demanding pace and intensity of English football. Despite limited appearances, club staff are optimistic about his talent and believe he has the qualities to thrive at the highest level.
Reports suggest that Kone’s development will be closely monitored during the upcoming pre-season. The teenager is expected to be part of the squad for United’s summer tour, providing him an opportunity to prove his readiness for first-team football.
Manchester United is prioritising a measured approach to Kone’s progress, ensuring his long-term growth is not compromised by undue pressure.
