Manchester United’s pre-season warm-up match against Arsenal proved costly as Leny Yoro and striker Rasmus Hojlund were both forced off before half-time.

The Red Devils were plagued by injuries last season, where they recorded 45 injuries in the English top-flight.

Only five minutes after putting United ahead, Hojlund was stretched off the pitch by what looked like a hamstring issue.

He then slowly walked around the pitch to reach the dressing room after going through the treatment.
