Manchester United has been hit with a double injury blow with Leny Yoro and Rasmus Højlund facing extended periods on the sidelines. Yoro is expected to be out for three months due to a foot injury, while Højlund will be missing for the next six weeks because of a hamstring issue. Both players sustained their injuries during United’s recent 2-1 loss to Arsenal in Los Angeles as part of their U.S. tour.
The absence of Yoro and Højlund will have a significant impact on the team, especially with important matches coming up. They will both miss the Community Shield against Manchester City at Wembley on Aug. 10 and the beginning of the Premier League season. This setback will present a challenge for manager Erik ten Hag as he looks to improve on last season’s disappointing performance.
Yoro and Højlund face uncertain timelines for their return to action. While Yoro might be back in October, Højlund is targeting a comeback after the September international break. The team will have to make do without two key players during this crucial period, which could impact their performance on the pitch.
The injuries to Yoro and Højlund have also disrupted United’s transfer plans. The team was reportedly looking to strengthen their defense before Yoro’s injury, and now they will need to intensify their search for reinforcements. Players like Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich, as well as Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton, have been linked with a potential move to United as they seek to bolster their squad.
The injury setbacks suffered by Leny Yoro and Rasmus Højlund have created challenges for Manchester United both on and off the pitch. With important matches coming up and the need to strengthen the squad, manager Erik ten Hag will have his work cut out for him in managing the team through this difficult period. The team will have to come together and find ways to overcome these obstacles to ensure a successful season ahead.
