AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone will join Manchester United in the summer of 2026, according to journalist Francesca Teodori.

Teodoritold AS Roma Live‘s Twitch channel: “It’s not news, but it’s a fairly credible rumour.

“I’ve been told by multiple sources that he’ll leave Roma in June and join Manchester United.

“I don’t know if this has anything to do with the Zirkzee deal. He might have been included as a sort of counterpart.

“This remains to be seen, but what’s certain is that Kone is very keen on the destination, and it looks like he could join United in June.”

Kone initially joined Roma on loan from Borussia Mönchengladbach for the 2024-25 campaign before the deal was made permanent. The France international midfielder has played 66 times for Roma. Kone has scored two goals in those games and also has four assists to his name.
