Manchester United announce exit day after transfer window slams shut

Manchester United have confirmed that Sekou Kone has joined Lausanne-Sport on loan until the end of the season, subject to international clearance. The 19-year-old was on the bench for three Premier League games last season but is yet to make his senior debut.

The Malia youth international will also be handed the opportunity to feature in Europe, as his new side are still in the UEFA Conference League. Lausanne face SK Sigma Olomouc in the upcoming play-off round.
