MOVE TO MANCHESTER UNITED
In 2016 he moved from Spanish side Villarreal to English side Manchester United. "I was with my mum in the lounge and I told her I was going to sign for United. The family came and we talked and everyone was delighted. That day was one big happy time. When I was in the Ivory Coast [Cote d'Ivoire] training centre, we had a small staff, a different system from Europe but they taught us a lot and it was there I realised that with hard work I could make it. Why not become a professional player in Europe? I believed in myself and continued to grow, to pray and that's how I became a professional player in Europe." (manutd.com, 08 Jun 2021)
