THE Manchester United star who suffered a worrying head injury has been discharged from hospital.
Sekou Kone, 19, was playing for the Red Devils’ Under-21s side on Wednesday night.

But just before half-time away at Tamworth in the National League Cup, he went down in troubling scenes.
Kone headed the ball away at a corner but clashed heads and fell to the floor.
After initially getting up, United medics told him to stay down so he could be assessed.
And Kone was taken off the field on a stretcher with a mask over his face before being transported to hospital in an ambulance.
The match was abandoned because there was a delay in sourcing a required replacement ambulance needed at Tamworth’s stadium for the game to continue.
United confirmed last night Kone was “conscious, stable and communicating with United’s medical team”.
And now BBC Sport report that he has left hospital.
Reporter Simon Stone tweeted on Thursday afternoon: “Kone was discharged from hospital early this morning and continues to recover at home in Manchester.”
The positive health update prompted a wave of replies from concerned fans.
One said: “Thank goodness! Great work by the medical team to ensure he was safe and got the care he needed. Great to hear he is doing okay.”
Another wrote: “Safe recovery Kone.”
Kone is a highly-rated star who joined United a year ago in a deal worth £1million from boyhood club Guidars.
The Malian wonderkid has been dubbed the “next Yaya Toure”.
Kone came to United’s attention after impressing at the 2023 U17 World Cup as his nation came third.
He is yet to make his senior debut for the Red Devils, but he played 14 times for the U21s last season.
