Leny Yoro: Man United fans fear the worse after latest images

‘Are the Red Devils ever going to be given a break?’ is certainly the question every Man United fan would be asking after recent pictures of new summer signing, Leny Yoro surfaced.

Manchester United’s excitement over new signing Leny Yoro has quickly turned to concern as the young French defender, hailed as a top European prospect, was spotted in a protective boot and using crutches.

The £52 million acquisition from Lille was forced off the field with an injury during United’s 2-1 pre-season defeat to Arsenal, casting a shadow over what had been a promising start to his Old Trafford career.

Erik ten Hag’s hopes of bolstering his backline with Yoro were high after the 18-year-old chose United over Real Madrid. However, with footage emerging of Yoro’s current condition, fans are worried he could be out for a significant period. The injury echoes last season’s defensive struggles for United, raising questions about the club’s recent run of bad luck with new signings.

Despite the setback, fans are hopeful for a strong recovery, drawing parallels to Kobbie Mainoo’s comeback from a pre-season injury last year. In the meantime, United continue to seek defensive reinforcements, reportedly closing in on Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and left-back Noussair Mazraoui.

For United fans, this looks like the prior seasons all over again when summer signings turned from being an excitement to serious concerns.
