Major injury concern as Man United star spotted on crutches days before start of season
After a recent injury, Leny Yoro has been spotted on crutches and wearing a protective boot.
The young Frenchman joined the Red Devils from Lille in a deal worth up to £59 million (Sky Sports News) earlier this month.
However, making just his second appearance for the club three days ago during a 2-1 defeat in a pre-season friendly against Arsenal in the United States, Yoro, 18, was injured during the first half in Los Angeles.
In the wake of Sunday’s game, Erik Ten Hag admitted the club will have to manage the 18-year-old’s injury ‘very carefully’.
“We have to wait 24 hours and then we will hopefully know more,” the United boss told MUTV, as quoted by MEN.
“We were very careful, especially with Leny. It is disappointing he had to come off but let’s be positive and see what comes out.”
