Mouhamed Dabo: Wonderkid’s future takes another twist | OneFootball

Senegalese wonderkid Mouhamed Dabo seemed to have escaped Manchester United’s grasp but his future has taken yet another dramatic turn.

Just yesterday, The Peoples Person relayed that the 17-year-old has decided to sign for NK Kustosija in the Croatian third division, with the club announcing the signing on social media.

The post read, “One of the most talented midfielders in the world and captain of the Senegalese U-17 national team – Mouhamed Dabo has signed a multi-year contract with NK Kustošija!”

The Senegal U18 international was set to join his new club next summer, but today, the club deleted the post and provided no further clarification.

Statement issued by Be Sport Academy

The midfielder’s academy, Be Sport Academy, came out with a statement in which they refuted all these claims. They further stated that their wonderkid remains up for grabs

“FALSE INFORMATION: Contrary to information circulating on a foreign club’s account and widely shared, Mouhamed Dabo is still a Be Sport Academy player and available for a future transfer.”

This effectively means United remain in the race, with the Senegalese ace impressing United coaches during his trial with the club.

He has also spent time at the La Masia academy with Barcelona, which clearly shows his quality. Which is why news of him signing for the Croatian third division made very little sense.

Mouhamed Dabo remains up for grabs, United should hurry

This is not the first time news regarding his future has proved to be inaccurate. It was widely reported that Mouhamed Dabo had agreed to sign on the dotted lines at United.

Soon after, news emerged that he did not do so, and there were potential roadblocks as a result of which the move was blocked.

It will be interesting to see what ultimately happens with the midfield ace and which club he ends up joining.

As for United, they have already pre-agreed a deal for Colombian teenager Cristian Orozco with the wonderkid arriving in Manchester to sign his new deal.
