Manchester United and Guidars FC have reached an agreement for the signing of young Mali international Sekou Kone. With his efforts for Guidars and the Mali Under-17 squad, the midfielder has left his mark.
Kone is mostly a defensive midfielder, but he can sometimes play in higher positions. In addition to his defensive skills, he can play deeper in the midfield.
Sekou Kone is an 18-year-old midfielder from Mali. He was born in Mali on February 3, 2006. In his early career, he mostly played defensive midfield.
The young player has played for both the Mali youth team and Guidars FC. The young athlete, who is already 180 cm tall and may grow even taller, has the potential to be a true midfield asset for the Red Devils.
Between €1.5 million and €2 million is the projected transfer fee for Kone. Interest in him was piqued by his outstanding performance at the Under-17 World Cup in 2023, where he showed a knack for combining strong tackling with the creation of goal-scoring opportunities.

Manchester United views Kone as a long-term asset with tremendous potential, despite his relative inexperience. In an effort to strengthen its younger ranks, United plans to add him to the roster of bright young players in its academy.
Kone is anticipated to begin with United’s Under-21 squad to aid in his adjustment to both the club and European football.
