He has even distributed possession accurately from midfield based on his pass completion rate of 91.3% in the Italian top tier (stats via <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/86574238\/Manu-Kone\">fbref.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_339756\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-339756\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Manchester United\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-1024x699.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-1536x1049.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-2048x1399.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-615x420.jpg 615w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-1230x840.jpg 1230w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-218x150.jpg 218w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-600x410.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-696x475.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-1392x951.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-1068x729.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/aston-villa-v-as-roma-pre-season-friendly-1920x1311.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-339756\">WALSALL, ENGLAND \u2013 AUGUST 06: Manu Kone of AS Roma looks on prior to the pre-season friendly match between Aston Villa and AS Roma at Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium on August 06, 2025 in Walsall, England.

He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and is a tidy passer of the ball as well.<\/p>\n<p>The French talent can even chip in by creating the odd chance for others around him in the final third. Kone is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also function as a defensive midfielder or play in the number ten position if asked to do so. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kone would add more bite and steel to Man United boss Ruben Amorim\u2019s midfield. He has what it takes to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Mancunian club in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>At 24, Kone has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for Man United to pursue this January or at the end of this campaign. All in all, Amorim would be wise to snap him up in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent segment on \u00a0ASRomaLive\u2019s Twitch channel, journalist Francesca Teodori stated that AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone is keen on joining Manchester United next summer.
