Manchester United remain interested in signing French international midfielder Manu Kone from AS Roma. The 25-year-old is valued at €60 million, but Manchester United are prepared to pay around €50 million to secure the deal.
According to reports, Manchester United have an agreement with Manu Kone's representatives and are in constant contact with them. However, they now need to convince AS Roma to come to a compromise on the transfer fee.
Manchester United have identified the need for more control and defensive steel in the middle of the park, and Kone could be the ideal signing to address this issue. He has impressed in Italy with Roma and did well in the World Cup with France, showcasing his physical and technical attributes that would be beneficial for English football.
Kone's potential signing would complete Manchester United's midfield unit for the upcoming season, following their recent investments in Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. With the Champions League next season, the Red Devils cannot afford to miss out on Kone after failing to sign Mateus Fernandes earlier in the window.
