Man Utd handed positive injury update on Leny Yoro as new signing takes step forward in recovery from surgery

Premier League

Ipswich

United have had <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-liverpool-casemiro-kobbie-mainoo/bltd95c513a64f9cbe1" target="_blank">a difficult start to their Premier League campaign</a>, with only one win in three games, and it has resulted in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sir-jim-ratcliffe-told-sack-erik-ten-hag-livid-man-utd-fans-ineos-chairman-viral-reaction-liverpool-thrashing/blte09309d3e90303eb" target="_self">early pressure on Ten Hag</a>. There isn't much going in the Dutchman's favour at Old Trafford at this moment, but he has received a slight boost with summer signing Leny Yoro's recovery from injury going well.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Frenchman signed from Lille in the summer for £52 million and almost instantly got injured in the Red Devils' pre-season friendly against Arsenal. The defender picked up a foot injury but his rehabilitation has picked up and he is now walking without crutches. The teenager was given an expected return date of November, and he's already returned to the gym.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ten Hag said about Yoro's injury: "That's part of football, that's part of top football especially, that you come into, you go to the edge, every player has to go to the edge. And yeah, then injuries are not avoidable. But of course, we have to be ready as a club and as a team to cover this and the players are dealing very well with this setback. They (Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund) are very positive, they are already recovering and they will return."

WHAT TEN HAG SAID

It was a far from ideal start for Yoro's life in Manchester and he has had to watch on from the sidelines as his new side got thumped by Liverpool and agonisingly beaten by Brighton, conceding five goals in the process. His arrival in the backline could add a sturdiness that has been missing throughout Ten Hag's tenure as United boss.
