Sekou Kone is recognized as a promising talent at Manchester United.
He joined from Guidars FC for about £1 million but hadn’t made a senior appearance before his recent injury.
While playing for United’s Under-21s in a National League Cup match against Tamworth, Kone suffered a serious head injury while defending a corner.
This injury, which affected his eye socket, kept him out for several months and impacted his growth as a player.
This was a significant setback for Kone, especially as the club had canceled a loan move for him during the summer, hoping he would join the first team.
Given the current injury issues within the team, some believed the Mali international could have been useful. However, the club has decided otherwise, and we have updates about his plans for January 2026.
Sources indicate that Kone is likely to go on loan in January, with Ineos-owned FC Lausanne-Sport being the top contender for his loan after a prior deal fell through.
Despite various reports, no agreement has been reached yet regarding the 19-year-old.
More than 10 clubs are interested in Kone, similar to the interest he attracted in the summer.
Previous reports suggested that FC Lausanne-Sport had been in talks with Manchester United about a loan move for Kone.
18-year-old Enzo Kana-Biyik, signed by Manchester United as a free agent in the summer, is also with the Swiss club.
It appears that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS is fully utilizing their multi-club connections.
A loan move could be very advantageous for Kone, offering him first-team opportunities that would aid his development.
