'Ruben Amorim's trump card is about to make a comeback!'

The comeback of young talent Sekou Kone after his eye injury is considered a crucial psychological lift for Man Utd and manager Ruben Amorim before the busy final phase of the season.

Manchester United is preparing to receive extremely positive news as the promising young player Sekou Kone has fully recovered and is ready to return to action following the international break. According to U21 coach Travis Binnion, Kone will be eligible to play as early as next month, a key period for him to prove his worth in Amorim’s plans.

This return comes at a time when Man United faces a demanding series of domestic fixtures. With such a packed schedule, coach Ruben Amorim must rotate his squad, creating opportunities for young players like Kone to showcase their abilities. Unlike teammates such as Kobbie Mainoo, who is being considered for loan to gain experience, Kone has the chance to directly compete for a spot in the first team, where every minute on the pitch is valuable.

Before his injury, Sekou Kone made a strong impression during the summer tour under Amorim, demonstrating a modern and versatile playing style. Experts liken him to a blend of Casemiro—a powerful defensive midfielder—and Bruno Fernandes—the creative playmaker in attack. Thanks to his intelligent movement, precise passing, and good game reading, Kone offers Amorim a flexible option in tactical setups.

However, Kone’s road to recovery was far from easy. Over two months ago, he suffered a severe orbital fracture during the Tamworth match, causing the game to be immediately halted. This incident interrupted his development just as he was gaining the coaching staff’s confidence. Nevertheless, his positive rehabilitation and strong fighting spirit helped him return to training early, ready for initial physical challenges.

Coach Travis Binnion confirmed: “Sekou is in good condition, training fully, and ready to play. We believe he can participate after the upcoming international break.”

For coach Ruben Amorim, Kone’s return is not only about personnel but also signals improving squad depth. As Man United balances multiple competitions, having a youthful, energetic, and eager player like Kone allows him to adjust tactics flexibly while maintaining competitiveness.

If all goes according to plan, Sekou Kone will have the opportunity to appear in the Man Utd squad from the end of this month, potentially becoming the “secret weapon” that helps Amorim shift the tide during the crucial stages of the season. This comeback is not just good news for coach Amorim but also for the Red Devils fans eagerly awaiting to see a young talent continue the club’s revival story.
