"Man Utd director of football, Jason Wilcox, and the Red Devils' CEO, Omar Berrada, are 'trying to bring' Kinteh 'to Old Trafford' this summer, according to the report. The Premier League club are 'preparing to organise a trip to Norway' in the beginning of March to follow the teenager closely."
"What has 'attracted' Man Utd to Kinteh is his 'combination' of being 'an old-style stopper and a modern playmaker'. The Red Devils view the young defender as 'an investment to strengthen Michael Carrick's side'."
"The report has claimed that Chelsea, Ajax and PSV are also interested in the Gambian gem, but Man Utd have 'earned an advantage'. Tromso were looking for around £4million (€4.5m, $5.4m) for the 19-year-old Gambia international, who is also able to play as a left-back."
Manchester United are actively working to sign Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh, a 19-year-old Gambian defender from Norwegian club Tromso. Director of football Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada are leading efforts to bring the rapid left-sided centre-back to Old Trafford this summer. Tromso values Kinteh at around £4 million. Manchester United plan to organize a trip to Norway in early March to observe him closely. Chelsea, Ajax, and PSV have also expressed interest, but Manchester United have gained an advantage. Kinteh's appeal lies in combining traditional defensive qualities with modern playmaking abilities. The club views him as a strategic investment to strengthen their defensive options. Kinteh has made 25 appearances for Tromso, scoring one goal and providing one assist, and remains contracted until summer 2029.
