Man Utd star out for three months with injury, another sidelined for six weeks

 

Manchester United stars Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund will be sidelined for an extended period, according to BBC Sport.

The young duo suffered injuries during the opening half of the pre-season friendly against Arsenal last weekend. The extent of the problems has now been revealed.

Yoro was spotted on crutches and a protective boot earlier this week and he is set to be sidelined until the end of October after sustaining a metatarsal injury.

He could be ruled out for nine Premier League games and the start of the club’s Carabao Cup and Europa League campaigns.

Hojlund will be out of action for another six weeks after picking up a hamstring injury against the Gunners.

The injuries could alter the club’s transfer plans in the near future. A new centre-back is a priority after the unfortunate setback for Yoro on Saturday.

Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt has been tipped to join the club for several weeks and United could speed up the pursuit after the injury blow to the teenager.

Manager Erik ten Hag could also contemplate signing another striker, considering new signing Joshua Zirkzee will need time to adapt to the Premier League.

Brentford star Ivan Toney could re-emerge as an option for the Red Devils.

Fans are waiting for news about Marcus Rashford and Antony, who limped off the field in the 3-2 win over Real Betis in the United States.
