Latest Leny Yoro injury news as the defender gets closer to returning to action

Manchester United started the season in the worst fashion. The previous Premier League season was a forgettable one for the fans of the Red Devils. After signing some key players and winning the FA Cup last year, it seemed things would turn around at Old Trafford.

But, things are getting from bad to worse. United started the season with a scrappy win over Fulham at Old Trafford. But, in the next two games, they suffered back-to-back losses against Brighton and Liverpool. And, in the latter game, Ten Hag was outplayed by Arne Slot.

This is what makes Manchester United fans infuriated with their Dutch manager. Last year, injury was a big issue for the Red Devils. And, this season seemed to start in the same way. Their second signing of the summer, Leny Yoro from Lille, was injured during a pre-season game.

Yoro was a target for many big clubs in Europe including the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool. But, Manchester United won the race and signed the French centre-back. But, the 18-year-old is now close to returning to action for Manchester United, as per the latest reports on Manchester Evening News.
