Kekuta Manneh Joins FC Cincinnati After Trade With Columbus

Kekuta Manneh is back in MLS, and he's joining the league's newest team.

FC Cincinnati completed a trade with the Columbus Crew for the MLS rights to Manneh, who had most recently been with FC St. Gallen in Switzerland's top flight. FCC sent $250,000 in Targeted Allocation Money and $50,000 in General Allocation Money (and the potential for $50,000 more of each depending on performance incentives) to Columbus for Manneh, a speedy, U.S.-eligible winger who spent five seasons in MLS prior to joining Pachuca in Liga MX (following a trial with Union Berlin in Germany) in January 2018.
