Manchester United appear to be close to acquiring Senegalese midfielder Mouhamed Dabo, with sources confirming that the head of Be Sports Academy has traveled to England to conclude the deal. The initial article was carried by TeamTalk, which cited AfricaFoot, and the impetus behind this decision is now obvious.
Barcelona is already interested in the 17-year-old captain of Senegal’s Under-17 team. Manchester United, on the other hand, are in strong contention to sign him. As reported by Team Talk, “Mouhamed Dabo – who is currently on trial at Carrington – is very close to signing with Manchester United.”
Barcelona is still interested in the adolescent, but the timing of Be Sports Academy’s intervention, with their president being “in England to finalise discussions regarding a possible transfer,” demonstrates United’s ambition to win the race.
“Based on our information, the reaction has been really good. His all-around abilities have pleased the English club’s coaching staff, including clean tackling, vision, poise, ball control, leadership, persistent work, progressive passing, and speed management.
Man Utd set to sign teenage midfielder ahead of Barcelona
After impressing United officials at Carrington, the 17-year-old has been on trial with the Red Devils in recent weeks, and it now appears that they have done enough to beat Barcelona to his signature.
Although Dabo isn’t exactly well-known at the age of 17, especially because he isn’t playing in Europe, it is reassuring to think that United may recruit any young youngster who Barcelona also likes.
Senegal’s U17 captain, Dabo, is a midfield player with a lot of potential. United should be concentrating on the middle of the pitch since they have been unbalanced there far too frequently in recent years.
United coaches have already expressed their admiration for the Senegalese’s “clean tackling, vision, composure, ball control, leadership, relentless work, progressive passing, and pace control.” It is true that he would not start right away, but if he fulfills his potential, he could be the player to eventually excel in front of the defense.
