The club were forced to call off a cup game last night (Wednesday 13 August)
A Manchester United player has been rushed to hospital after suffering an on-the-pitch head injury.
Under-21s star Sekou Kone was treated for around 15 minutes before the National League Cup against Tamworth was abandoned.
The Group A game at the Lamb Ground on Wednesday night was suspended after the 19-year-old Mali youth international went down after a clash of heads as he helped to defend a corner.
He was treated on the pitch for around 15 minutes and after the half-time whistle had been blown, was carried off on a stretcher and it was later announced that the game had been abandoned with the score at 0-0.
United issued an update on Kone's condition, saying in a statement: "We can confirm Sekou is conscious, stable and communicating with United's medical team.
"He has been taken to hospital, as a precaution, for further checks."
A statement on Tamworth's official X account said: "Due to the medical situation, we are forced to abandon tonight's fixture, details will be revealed in due course.
"We would like to wish safe travels to all the Man United fans, staff and players. We especially wish Sekou Kone a speedy recovery."
