Manchester United have made the decision to loan out young striker Enzo Kana-Biyik for the 2025/26 season, according to journalist Christopher Michel.
The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their attacking options for the first-team this summer, but are also keeping an eye on developing their youth talent for the future as part of the INEOS plan.
One such case is young forward Kana-Biyik, who has signed on a five-year deal this summer after arriving from Le Havre, and the plan has now been formalised for his next steps.

18-year-old Kana-Biyik arrives at Old Trafford as a highly-rated young striker, and INEOS want to ensure that his development isn't stalled while he looks to break into the first-team and he will now make the move to Switzerland for the 2025/26 season.
According to Michel, INEOS-owned FC Lausanne will be where the French forward plays his football next season with the idea being that he will be able to gain valuable experience while out on loan in the first-team, rather than playing academy football.
Man Utd are hopeful that he can develop, play regularly and score some goals before returning the following summer where he will be assessed ahead of potentially joining up with the first-team.
Having scored nine goals in 15 games so far this season for the Le Havre academy side, United feel they have secured the signing of a top talent who can develop into a first-team player in the coming years.
United have already added to their attack for the first-team with the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, while a deal for Bryan Mbeumo is also expected to be finalised in the coming weeks. A new centre-forward is also being targeted, while Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee and Chido Obi are all options for Ruben Amorim currently.
