Biography

Willy Kambwala (born 25 August 2004 in Kinshasa, DR Congo) is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Manchester United. A highly regarded talent with French nationality, Kambwala is known for his composure on the ball, aerial dominance, and mature performances beyond his years.

He began his footballing journey in France, developing at US Alfortville before joining Sochaux, where his potential quickly caught the eye of European scouts. In October 2020, Manchester United secured his signature as part of their long-term youth investment strategy, bringing him into the academy setup.

Despite suffering a significant injury shortly after arriving in England, Kambwala showed resilience and returned to impress in the U18 and U21 sides, eventually captaining the youth team. His leadership qualities, combined with his physical presence and defensive intelligence, earned him a reputation as one of the club’s brightest prospects.

Kambwala made his senior debut for Manchester United on 26 December 2023 in a Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, showcasing his maturity under pressure. The appearance marked a milestone in his development and hinted at a bright future in the first team under Erik ten Hag.

Off the pitch, Kambwala represents France at youth international level and continues to grow as a defender with strong potential to play at the highest level for both club and country.
