Manchester United Ready To Step Up Their Efforts For This Serie A Midfielder: Good Choice For Carrick?

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey revealed that Manchester United are ready to step up their efforts for AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are hoping to get a deal done for the French talent in this transfer period.

Kone’s Impressive Form In Serie A

Kone enjoyed a solid campaign at the Italian club as he put in a string of impressive displays for them in the middle of the park. The 25-year-old scored two goals and earned three assists in 37 matches for Roma last season across all competitions.

The French talent is currently among the most talented midfielders in Serie A. Therefore, it is no wonder that Man United are hoping to sign him later this year.

His current contract at the Italian club will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Will Kone Be A Good Choice For Manchester United Boss Michael Carrick?

Kone is a good tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually clears his lines when the opposition are on the front foot and is an accurate distributor of the ball as well.

The French sensation can even chip in by scoring and creating a handful of important goals for his side from midfield. Kone is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also serve as a defensive midfielder if needed. However, only time will tell whether he can adapt to the physical style and high intensity of the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to land him in this summer transfer window.

We can expect Kone to enhance the quality of Man United head coach Michael Carrick’s midfield department. He has what it takes to fight for a regular starting spot at Old Trafford in the coming years.

At 25, Kone has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Red Devils to consider in this transfer window. With all things considered, Carrick should focus on going all out to bring him to the Theatre of Dreams this off-season.
