Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone has admitted that he is trying to block out ongoing speculation about his future amid reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.
The 21-year-old, who joined Monchengladbach from French outfit Toulouse in January 2021, has established himself as a first-team regular for the Bundesliga outfit since the beginning of last season, making 54 appearances in all competitions. He has played 25 times this term and has started all but one of their 25 Bundesliga matches this season.
Kone, who started France Under-21s' 4-0 defeat to England on Saturday, is a defensive-minded midfielder who loves a tackle and offers a varied passing range. He is considered one of the most promising youngsters in the German top flight and a whole host of clubs are reportedly expressing an interest in his signature, including United.
