Overview
- The Manchester United academy midfielder has traveled to Switzerland to be assessed by the INEOS-owned Swiss Super League club.
- Manager Peter Zeidler said Kone has been with the team for several days and would feature in a Thursday friendly against Xamax or Nyon.
- Kone missed several months after an eye-socket fracture in August and returned in November, completing a full U21 match versus Borussia Dortmund before Christmas.
- Lausanne already have United’s Enzo Kana-Biyik on loan, which Zeidler cited as a favorable precedent while considering Kone.
- The Malian teenager has yet to debut for United’s first team after appearing on Premier League squad lists last season, having joined from Guidars FC in 2024 for a reported £1m.
