Manchester United’s pursuit of talented young players is relentless and shows no signs of slowing down.
The team, which boasted the best under-18 player in England last season, is another promising addition to the club’s academy.
Malian prodigy Sekou Koné is the latest addition and he joins six young players who have already been transferred this summer.
Now, with a talented prospect identified in Carrington, new young talent could be added.

The transfers of Rusal and Obi-Martin are pending approval from the FA, while Kone will undergo a medical. The transfer is conditional on international clearance.
Caleb Sweeney already holds a British passport so a move would be relatively easy, but he must first convince academy decision-makers that he is worthy of a signing.
