It appears the ghost from last season is back to hunt Manchester United as new £59 million signing Leny Yoro limped off the pitch during Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to fellow Premier League side Arsenal at the SoFi . Stadium.
The pre-season clash saw Yoro and also striker Rasmus Hojlund limp off before halftime, rekindling troubling memories from last season, which saw the Red Devils suffer 45 injury cases in the Premier League alone.
Leny Yoro, Rasmund Hojlund injury scares
Five minutes after blasting United ahead, Hojlund went down with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. After receiving treatment, he cautiously made his way around the pitch’s perimeter into the locker room.
Yoro also seemed to have realized something was wrong when he went down just after the half-hour mark. Not one to take chances, the young Frenchman made his way out of the pitch.
This incident comes after Ten Hag’s presser before the game, where the Dutch manager pointed to the hiring of head physiotherapist Jordan Reece and club doctor Gary O’Driscoll—both from Arsenal—ten months prior as causes for optimism.
”Now he can start fresh and be in the lead,” said the United manager, as quoted by Daily Mail.
”We also changed strategies in medical and performance to improve.”
However, only 24 hours after Ten Hag’s interview, United are facing old familiar problems.
The Red Devils will be hoping these cases are nothing but minor and that both players will be back fully fit in no time.
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy recently reported that Manchester United star Marcus Rashford was recently involved in another car crash, this time with a fellow teammate, adding to a series of highway troubles he’s encountered in recent months.
