"Great market opportunity" - Ornstein's Man United transfer update on "excellent" World Cup star
David Ornstein called Kone a good cheap option as United weigh a third midfield signing after adding Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
- Manchester United has yet to make a formal approach for Roma midfielder Manu Kone, despite reports from journalist Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic reporter David Ornstein indicating the club is monitoring the 25-year-old.
- Kone previously played for Borussia Monchengladbach before joining Roma in 2024 and delivered "excellent" displays for Les Bleus during the 2026 World Cup.
- Following Casemiro's departure from Old Trafford and Manuel Ugarte's long-term injury, United confirmed signings of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos to address midfield vacancies.
- Ornstein described the transfer as a "great market opportunity," noting the value United could obtain from Roma during the summer window.
- With the team returning to the Champions League, manager Michael Carrick could rotate Kone alongside Kobbie Mainoo, Tielemans, and Santos to ensure midfield depth.
