Manchester United is reportedly very close to signing Senegale starlet Moohhamed Dubbo as the academy recruitment continues to expand upwards. Dubbo, the captain of the Senegal Under 17 team, is said to have acquired Old Trafford’s coach with his natural ability.
United have been recruiting younger players since Ir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos took over, with Aiden Haven, Diego Leon, Chido Obi and Sekou Korn bringing in with a long-term view in mind.
Dabo will be the next player on the Carrington conveyor belt. Africafoot claims he has signed a deal with United and has been on trial at M17 for several weeks, taking part in training sessions with the youth team.
He’s making an immediate impact and the coaches give positive feedback. They were impressed not only with his raw talent and maturity, but also with the perfect nature of his game. This is said to include clean tackle, vision, calmness, ball control, leadership, fatigue-free work, progressive passing and pace control.
The president of BSPort Academie is currently in the UK to finalize the terms of the transfer.
Dabo has also been attracting interest from Barcelona, completing a month’s internship at the renowned La Masia Academy.

However, United are currently in the pole position and are expected to complete their signature sooner than later.
Dabo is considered a different embraced midfielder than Kone, who arrived from Guidars FC in Mali before completing his move to United last year.
Spanish outlet sports claim that Barcelona wanted to sign Dabo in March, but FIFA regulations prevented immediate relocation because they are under the age of 18.
They tried to secure an oral agreement with his representative, as United did with Paraguayan Fullback Leon before officially joining the club, but no such deal was made.
At United, we’ve recently seen academy alumni leave the club and Alejandro Garnacho has seen Chelsea and Marcus Rashford head for Barcelona on loan, but bringing players into the setup seems to be an important focus.
The club recently confirmed that Stephen Torpy has been appointed as the head of the academy from Brentford.
“As the club enters an exciting new era, it’s clearly the best time to join,” Torpee said. “I can’t wait to do my part in continuing the incredible tradition of youth development here.”
