Man Utd hold 'concerns' over midfielder's development as transfer U-turn made

Manchester United has expressed concerns over Sekou Kone's development after he was left out of Lausanne-Sport's UEFA Conference League squad.

Manchester United is reportedly worried about the development of midfielder Sekou Kone, who is currently on loan at Lausanne-Sport. The 20-year-old had been loaned to the Swiss club in January with expectations that he would gain valuable experience in European competitions. However, he has been left out of Lausanne-Sport's UEFA Conference League squad, limiting his playing time and exposure at a crucial stage in his career.

Kone joined Lausanne-Sport after a winter training period with the club, seeking to gain additional experience and playing time. However, the decision by Lausanne-Sport not to register him as one of their new players for the UEFA competition highlights a setback for Kone. Manchester United's management expressed concern that this situation could hinder Kone's development as he is not getting the competitive experience they hoped he would have during the loan.

The implications of his exclusion could be significant, not only for Kone's immediate career path but also for United's plans for him moving forward. If he is unable to secure regular playing time or involvement in critical matches, it may lead to questions about his readiness for the first team at Manchester United when he returns. The club will need to evaluate Kone's future loan opportunities and support structures to ensure he continues to develop properly during his formative years in professional football.
