Kekuta Manneh

Manneh has been stating his intent to play for the US for some time now. Receiving his US citizenship back in September, he is now eligible and looks to get his first cap later this month. At only 22 he already has nearly 100 appearances for the Vancouver Whitecaps and 22 goals. His pace out wide is exactly what the US need to compliment the squad’s midfield. When boxed in, Manneh can offer a threat in behind the opposing defense that will not be matched by many defenders around the world.
