Leny Yoro's promising start with Manchester United took a hit when he sustained an injury during his second game with the club. However, the young defender is back on his feet and making progress towards his return to the pitch.
In July, United successfully secured Yoro's signature in a deal worth £52million, beating out competition from Real Madrid. Fans were eager to see the 18-year-old in action during a pre-season friendly against Rangers, but unfortunately, he had to be substituted in the first half of United's tour in the USA against Arsenal.
The club later confirmed that Yoro had fractured his metatarsal and would require surgery. This was a major blow for United, who had just unveiled him alongside other new signings on the opening day of the season. Yoro needed crutches to make his way onto the pitch at Old Trafford, but according to reports, he no longer needs them as his recovery is going well.
The French defender has been working closely with the club's physios at the Carrington training base, and is also hitting the gym to stay in shape. Despite the setback, Yoro remains optimistic and determined to return to the field as soon as possible.
After undergoing surgery in August, Yoro was given a recovery time frame of three months, which could see him back in action by November. Despite the unfortunate start to his time at United, his manager Erik ten Hag has praised his maturity in handling the situation.
"He expresses one of the reasons why we signed him," ten Hag said in an interview with Sky Sports. "Very mature, great personality, dealing with it, looking forward, and remaining positive. He's already started his rehab and you can see the fire burning within him. For his age, he is already very mature and focused on his goals."
Ten Hag also added that Yoro's determination and focus will be a valuable asset to the team once he returns, and that he will play a crucial role in helping the team achieve their goals and win trophies.
Meanwhile, United's defense has been holding up with Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez as the first-choice pairing, with another new arrival, Matthijs de Ligt, joining them in the recent game against Liverpool. However, fans are eagerly awaiting Yoro's return to see him in action and witness his potential on the field.
