Manchester United have confirmed the signing of young midfielder Sekou Kone on transfer deadline day.
The highly-rated talent who only turned 18 in February has signed a contract at Old Trafford and will initially join the club’s academy as he settles in the city.
The Mali youth international arrives from Guidars FC in his homeland.
Confirmation of the deal comes with United supporters still waiting for the club to unveil Manuel Ugarte.
The 23-year-old is set to join the club from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal that could rise to £51million.
While he has spent most of the week in Manchester, United have not been able to register him in time to play against Liverpool on Sunday.
