He trained with the first team this week, per Manchester Evening News, but will play with the academy sides for the moment.
Kone has also been given the no.42 shirt at Old Trafford for the moment, as the club does not want to put any pressure on him.
While he is highly rated and seen as a first teamer in the future, United want to give him time and space to settle in England.
If he does get any first team game time this term, it will likely come near the end of the season.
