Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh is being linked with a move from Norwegian side Tromsø to Manchester United, with the highly rated teenager emerging as a reported target for the Premier League club.
The 19-year-old centre-back, valued at €5.00m according to Transfermarkt data, is the subject of mounting speculation over a possible switch from the Eliteserien to England’s top flight. The current rumour, logged on 10 February 2026, lists the probability of a transfer as “?”, underlining that talks – if any – are at a very early and uncertain stage.
Kinteh is contracted to Tromsø, but with no public information on the length of his deal or an expiry date, observers have noted the possibility that he could become a free agent in the foreseeable future, a scenario that would increase interest from clubs such as United. For now, though, any move remains firmly in the realm of rumour rather than negotiation.
Born on 30 November 2006, the left-footed defender stands at 1.86m and operates primarily at centre-back. A Gambian national, he joined Tromsø from Senegalese outfit Academy Mawade Wade during the 24/25 campaign, moving from West African academy football into Norway’s top division, the Eliteserien.
Since arriving in Tromsø, his rise in estimated value has been notable: from €1.8m in June 2025 to €4.5m in September, climbing again to €5.00m by mid-December 2025. That rapid progression reflects growing recognition of his potential, even though detailed public records of individual match performances – such as dates, opponents and scorelines – are not provided in the available data.
For Manchester United, the link represents a nod towards longer-term defensive planning, targeting a young, left-footed centre-half with room to develop. For Kinteh, any future move to Old Trafford would mark a dramatic step from the Eliteserien to one of world football’s most scrutinised stages, a leap that could define his career trajectory and reputation if the speculation eventually turns into something more concrete.
