"What was the point in sending the young midfielder to a club where he was clearly not valued enough to play a major role? The decision showed a worrying disconnect for Ineos, who own Lausanne as well as having a large stake in Manchester United."
"Lausanne have now been knocked out of the Europa Conference League after a defeat at home to Czech club Sigma Olomouc. The Swiss side were defeated 2-1 at home after drawing the first leg 1-1. The defeat brings an end to a promising campaign that saw them begin in the qualifiers last July."
"Sekou Kone has made two appearances in the Swiss league for Lausanne. His most recent appearance came in a defeat against Lugano, where he showed some promise during his 26 minute cameo. It was a competent and technically strong midfield performance."
Sekou Kone, a Manchester United midfielder on loan at Lausanne, was not included in the club's Europa Conference League squad, creating disappointment and confusion about the purpose of the loan arrangement. This decision highlighted a disconnect for Ineos, which owns Lausanne and has significant stakes in Manchester United. Lausanne subsequently exited the Europa Conference League after losing 2-1 at home to Czech club Sigma Olomouc in the Round of 16 playoff. The Swiss club had progressed through qualifiers and group stages but failed to advance further. Kone made limited appearances in the Swiss league, including a 26-minute cameo showing technical promise. Fellow Manchester United loanee Enzo Kana-Biyik appeared briefly but could not impact the result. Lausanne currently sits ninth domestically and faces unlikely European qualification next season.
