High Hopes Dashed
Manchester United supporters are reeling from the sight of their new £58.9 million centre-back, Leny Yoro, hobbling on crutches during their pre-season tour. The 18-year-old talent, who had a stellar season at Lille, was expected to be a significant boost to the team’s defence after signing a five-year contract.
Transfer Battle Won, Fitness Battle Lost
Despite Real Madrid being Yoro’s reported preferred club, Manchester United managed to secure his signature earlier in the transfer window. The young Frenchman’s move to Old Trafford was seen as a coup for the club, but his recent injury has dampened the initial excitement.
Early Impressions Cut Short
Yoro’s debut in a United shirt showed promise during the first half against Rangers, leaving fans eager for more. However, their optimism was short-lived as Yoro was forced to leave the pitch before halftime in a subsequent match against Arsenal, due to an injury yet to be disclosed.
A Growing List of Injuries
Last season, Yoro was a consistent presence on the pitch for Lille, missing only one game due to injury. His current predicament adds him to the growing list of injured players at Manchester United, which saw the club top the Premier League’s injury chart last season with 45 separate incidents. This contributed to United’s disappointing eighth-place finish.
Double Injury Woe in Arsenal Clash
The injury to Yoro wasn’t the only misfortune for Manchester United in their match against Arsenal. Rasmus Hojlund also exited the game early due to injury, despite scoring in the 10th minute. Both players now face a race against time to regain fitness and join their teammates on the field.
