Through his personal social media account, Manchester United‘s center-back Leny Yoro recently updated on his injury recovery.
Yoro is the second new signing for Man United this summer after striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
To acquire the French star, the Red Devils agreed to pay £52 million to Lille. Yoro, who came through the academy at Pierre Mauroy Stadium, made his first-team debut in 2022.
In the past two seasons, the 18-year-old has played remarkably maturely for his age and has been rated as one of the best center-backs in Ligue 1. As a result, there were high expectations for him when he joined Old Trafford.
However, in only his second match against Arsenal during the pre-season tour in the US, Yoro reportedly suffered a broken foot, underwent surgery, and was expected to be out for about three months.
The Manchester United medical team initially estimated that the earliest he could return would be early November. But recently, in a post on his Instagram account, Yoro shared a photo of himself playing in a friendly match against Rangers, along with an hourglass emoji.
Although no additional information was provided, Manchester Evening News suggests that this update might indicate Yoro’s recovery is progressing well, possibly allowing him to return earlier than expected or at least confirming that his recovery is on track.
In the first two Premier League matches of the 2024/25 season, manager Erik ten Hag has relied on the central defensive pairing of Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire from the start, with new signing Matthijs de Ligt being introduced in the second half.
Conclusion:
Leny Yoro’s positive recovery news is a major boost for Manchester United, especially as the team’s defense could benefit from his return. Fans and the club will certainly look forward to his return to strengthen the defense and help achieve the team’s goals for the season.
