24 under 24: Kekuta Manneh cracks top five for the second year running

For the second straight year, Kekuta Manneh has cracked the top five in Major League Soccer’s annual 24 under 24 series – featuring a list of the best players in MLS aged 23 or younger.

After placing second in 2015 and 12th the year before, Manneh comes in at fifth in 2016.
