Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has given a major injury update on defender Leny Yoro before his side's Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

Yoro, 18, signed for United from Ligue 1 side Lille for an initial fee of £52 million this summer.

But despite impressing in pre-season, the France youth international has not yet been able to play a competitive game for his new club.

He suffered a metatarsal injury during a friendly against Arsenal which required surgery.

According to The Athletic, United knew that Yoro was at risk of suffering a metatarsal problem while conducting his medical, but decided that they wanted to press ahead with his signing.

Yoro was originally slated to be out of action for three months.

Now, Ten Hag has given a significant update on when he will pull on the United shirt for the first time competitively.

And while he won't be fit in time to take on Spurs on Sunday, having not yet returned to training, Yoro is nearing a comeback.

When asked about how the young defender's recovery is progressing, Ten Hag said: "Yes, he is doing very well.

"It is very pleasing that his rehab is going in the right direction, and I expect him soon.

"But what I mean by soon is that he is now in the right planning process. He is in the right spot.

"He will return as soon as possible into the squad and then the team training."

United will be looking to bounce back against Spurs after draws against Crystal Palace and FC Twente.

While they failed to score at Selhurst Park, Sam Lammers cancelled out United's first half opener in the Europa League clash against Twente to place further pressure on Ten Hag ahead of a packed schedule of fixtures.
