Embracing a New Path: Tuanzebe Chooses Congo

A Journey Through English Football

During his tenure at Manchester United, Tuanzebe featured in 37 matches for the senior squad. Despite his contributions, he never earned a call-up to the England national team. His career included loan spells at Aston Villa, Stoke City, and Napoli, before securing a permanent move to Ipswich Town in the English Championship.
