'I can't describe the feeling' - Manchester United teenage striker finally completes move to Championship club


Cardiff City have officially completed the signing of teenage striker Sekou Kaba from Manchester United. United revealed last month Kaba had agreed a move to an unnamed Championship club, but it has taken a month for the transfer to be officially completed.
The 17-year-old has joined Cardiff on a scholarship contract and will sign a professional contract with the Welsh club when he celebrates his birthday later this month. Cardiff describe Kaba as a 'quick and direct' attacker who will predominantly feature for the U21 squad while also being eligible to feature at U18s level.

Kaba breaks silence on Manchester United exit
Sekou Kaba had to wait a month for his Manchester United exit to be finalised and he will be looking to make up for lost time with Cardiff City. Speaking after he signature was officially announced in midweek, he said: "It's a brilliant Club with amazing fans. I can't wait to get started and I'm very happy to be here. I can't really describe the feeling, it's a great day for me and my family. I'm excited to meet my teammates and play in front of the fans. These kind of days are huge. When the opportunity comes, you just have to enjoy the moment. I'm very excited to sign for the Club."
Kaba only made one appearance for United U18s this season, featuring for six minutes in their 3-0 win over Stoke back in November. He only made three U18 appearances during his time with the club, registering one assist without ever finding the back of the net.
