Erik ten Hag provides Leny Yoro update after disastrous double injury blow for Man Utd against Arsenal

Erik ten Hag has provided an update on the fitness of Leny Yoro after Manchester United suffered a double injury blow.

Man United's preparations for the new season continued on Saturday night with a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

Rasmus Hojlund gave United an early lead at the SoFi Stadium, but but Gabriel Jesus soon drew Mikel Arteta's side level.

Ten Hag rang the changes at half-time but United struggled thereafter, with Gabriel Martinelli scoring a late winner.

The final score is of little consequence for United, but injuries sustained by stars Leny Yoro and Hojlund could prove much more costly.

Hojlund was withdrawn in the 16th minute with an apparent muscle injury after giving United the lead, and after the match told reporters "we'll see" when asked how serious the issue was.

Yoro, recently signed from Lille for £52 million, was forced off just after the half hour mark and looked to be in some discomfort after receiving lengthy treatment.

The 18-year-old defender impressed on his United debut against Rangers after rejecting Real Madrid in order to move to Old Trafford, but now United fans will be sweating on his fitness less than three weeks out from the start of the Premier League season.

When asked to provide injury updates on the duo, United boss Ten Hag put on a brave face and played down concerns.

"Of course it is too short [to know about their injuries] and we have to wait over 24 hours, then we will hopefully know more.

"We were careful especially with Leny [Yoro] as he only did 50 per cent of the [training] sessions. It is disappointing he had to come off but let's be positive and see what comes out."

United will now travel to the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego for a meeting with Real Betis on Thursday before taking on Liverpool in South Carolina next weekend.
