Oppose - slightly more Google hits for 'Kouadio' than 'Manu', and majority of sources I see on the page use 'Kouadio'. Giant Snowman 17:56, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - he refers to himself as Manu. See his Instagram page. Paul Vaurie (talk) 18:34, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONNAME of the footballer, if you look at sources online. For example, if you search both names up on Google, there are hundreds of thousands more results for "Manu Koné" than for "Kouadio Koné". Next, he refers to himself as Manu, as seen on his own Instagram page, Twitter page, and TikTok page. Lastly, he is known in his club as Manu Koné, as Borussia Mönchengladbach call him Manu Koné on their own squad profiles (here). The overarching consensus is that Emmanuel Kouadio Koné is better known as Manu Koné, among football fans, commentators, and media. (Note that Kouadio isn't even his first name!). Anyways, please leave your comments below. Paul Vaurie (talk) 17:11, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply
