Malick Diop believes Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh is ready to join a big club amidst interest from Manchester United.

Manchester United are always on the lookout for young players with massive potential, and they seem to have found a gem in the Norwegian top flight. The Red Devils are keen to sign Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh and are set to step up their pursuit of the Gambian international.

The Manchester-based giants have received a massive boost as Malick Diop, president of the Mawade Wade Academy, believes it’s time for the 19-year-old to join a top European club.

While speaking on Africa Foot, Diop said via SportWitness, “He’s a very athletic lad who anticipates challenges,”

“Being athletic is one thing but knowing how to anticipate challenges puts you at ease. These qualities inevitably make him a difficult defender to handle.

“It’s time for him to leave. There was already interest from clubs during the winter transfer window, but it wasn’t the ideal time for a young player, as there’s already an established squad and it’s not easy to break into the first team…

“However, the best time is the summer. He’ll have time to adapt and establish himself.”

After coming up the ranks at the Wade Academy, the 19-year-old made the move to Norway in March last year. He has only gone from strength to strength since, and his impressive rise has caught the attention of quite a few top clubs.
