Manchester United striker prospect Sekou Kaba has left the club on a permanent basis.
A deal struck in the winter transfer window has finally been disclosed, one month after the deadline.
Sekou Kaba’s exit from Manchester United was held up by red-tape, similar to the paperwork that delayed Chido Obi signing for the Red Devils.
Kaba signed for Manchester United in 2021 from Derby County, as part of a triple swoop along with James Scanlon and Malachi Sharpe.

Sekou Kaba spell at Manchester United
Young forward Kaba’s exit is a fresh start for a talented prospect who had not made the progress Manchester United might have hoped for.
Kaba made his Manchester United under-18s debut in 2023, at just 15-years-old.
But this was only one of three appearances he ever made for the under-18s, who have been performing at an incredibly high standard, winning last season’s league title, and on course to repeat this year.
Kaba played only one game this season, a six minute showing as a substitute at the end of November.
Now he has a new opportunity where he should get a better chance of playing regularly.
