Salisu: Ghana coach Akonnor explains snub of Manchester United target

Ghana boss CK Akonnor reveals he is still in talks with Real Valladolid youngster Mohammed Salisu who was surprisingly missing from the coach’s first Ghana squad unveiled on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old defender was among the shocking absentees as the four-time African champions announced a 23-man squad for a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying double-header against Sudan later this month.

Salisu earned a first Ghana call-up for Afcon qualifying games against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe last November but pulled out of the squad due to injury.
