Manchester United’s pre-season preparations are nearing full intensity, with the squad set to embark on their US tour following a stop in Sweden.
Ruben Amorim continues to fine-tune his side’s tactics while balancing the integration of exciting youth prospects and first-team regulars.
With several young signings joining the club in recent months, fans are eager to see which fresh face might follow Kobbie Mainoo’s breakthrough example.

Among those making quiet strides at Carrington is one young midfielder who could soon be part of the club’s long-term plans — but nothing has been decided yet.
The same “emerging talent” label applied to Diego Leon and Enzo Kana-Biyik also applies to Sekou Kone, and now the wait is on to see where he fits.
Sekou Kone is still waiting to make his senior debut for Manchester United, but his name is one staff and scouts have been following closely.
The 19-year-old midfielder was signed with the expectation that he would rise quickly through the ranks, and while he’s not yet featured for the senior side, he is firmly part of United’s developmental vision.

Kone’s progress is currently being monitored at Carrington, where he has been training as part of United’s broader first-team and U21s set-up.
Ruben Amorim and his coaching staff are said to be assessing whether Kone is ready to be involved more consistently with the senior squad or if a different pathway will better serve his development.
That decision is still pending, and a loan move has not been ruled out, as per The Athletic.
Another potential route is a season with the under-21s, where he could play a crucial role in bridging the gap between youth and senior football.
It’s a similar trajectory to what’s been laid out for Diego Leon, while Kana-Biyik has already left on loan to Lausanne-Sport in Switzerland.
If Sekou Kone continues to impress in training, he could find himself fast-tracked — especially with United keen to build from within.
But for now, patience is key, and Kone knows he’s at a club where young talent is given time, tools and the platform to thrive.
