Two weeks ago, everything seemed perfect for Leny Yoro. He signed a five-year deal with Manchester United, and his dreams started to come true. Thirteen days later, he’s living a nightmare. On Sunday, the Red Devils met Arsenal in a pre-season friendly game on the US tour, and Yoro had to leave the pitch after only half an hour. At first, it seemed he was being substituted preventively, but now the injury looks more severe than it initially appeared.Leny Yoro was spotted on crutches with a protective boot on his left foot 🤕He joined Manchester United less than two weeks ago. pic.twitter.com/gsmRinw4od— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) July 31, 2024 Namely, the youngster was seen on crutches, signalling that his left ankle situation was not good. Not only will he miss United’s ultimate pre-season clash against Liverpool, but his appearance in the Community Shield duel against the city rival and even the beginning of the Premier League season are also under a big question mark.Man United face unexpected difficulties as well. Yoro was supposed to become a regular starter from day one, and now Erik ten Hag will have to find an alternative. The problem is he has minimal options. Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, and Lisandro Martinez are there, but the situation around them is rather vague.United to sack 250 employees, Evans is worriedNamely, the Swede and the former captain are on the already known infamous list of those who the club wants to sell, Martinez got an extended vacation due to his prolonged international obligations with Argentina at Copa America, which leaves the 36-year-old Evans as the only certain alternative given that experienced centre-back recently extended his contract.They are aware of the circumstances with central defenders at Old Trafford and are actively seeking reinforcements. Nevertheless, the Red Devils have yet to make a deal with Everton and/or Bayern Munich regarding Jarrad Branthwaite and Matthijs de Ligt’s transfers. The season starts soon, and the clock is ticking.##NAJAVA_MECA_8245978##
