Manchester United Close to Signing Promising Senegalese Teenager

Impressive Performance During Trial

Manchester United is on the verge of acquiring a talented Senegalese teenager following a successful trial, with interest also coming from Ruben Amorim’s team and Barcelona.

Sources from Africafoot indicate that Mouhamed Dabo, a 17-year-old currently under evaluation at Manchester United, is likely to sign with the club due to his remarkable performance during the trial period.

Training Highlights at United

Dabo has dedicated several weeks to training at the United Carrington training facility, where he has drawn attention from the club’s youth coaching staff for his exceptional abilities and strategic understanding on the field.

Competing Interest from Barcelona

While United is keen on securing the U17 Senegal captain, they face competition from Barcelona, who is also keeping an eye on his status. Dabo has spent approximately a month training with the La Liga giants and has reportedly made a positive impression there as well.

Potential Significance of Signing

Should Dabo finalize his deal with Manchester United, he would become the second midfielder from Africa to join the club in consecutive years, following the signing of Malian Sekou Kone in the summer of 2024.
