Report: FC Cincinnati trade Crew for rights to Kekuta Manneh

It’s been almost two years since Kekuta Manneh set foot on a Major League Soccer pitch, but it looks like that could be changing soon. Expansion side FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew SC have agreed on a deal to bring the 24 year old back to MLS according to The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio. Tenorio reports that Manneh was in Cincinnati on Monday to complete his physical before the deal to bring him to the Queen City can be complete.

Once considered a bright, young prospect during his first four seasons in MLS, Manneh scored 22 goals and collected 12 assists during his tenure with the Vancouver Whitecaps.
