Crushing Blow for Manchester United’s Leny Yoro as Medical Scans Reveal Possible Metatarsal Issues
Manchester United fans were left stunned after starlet Leny Yoro suffered a foot injury that will keep him out of action for around three months. The 18-year-old defender, signed from Real Madrid for a whopping £58.9 million, made a bright start to his Red Devils career, starring in a pre-season friendly against Rangers.
However, Yoro’s Manchester United medical scan, taken when he joined the club, showed possible metatarsal issues, which may have been overlooked in the initial signing process. Despite this, the Red Devils brass saw a "rare opportunity" to snap up one of Europe’s top young players and pushed ahead with the deal.
Yoro was reportedly trained in only 50% of United’s sessions, but the injury struck during his second game for the club, leading to surgery and a prolonged recovery period. United bosses didn’t expect him to play every week in the Premier League, and now, the youngster won’t be rushed back to action.
Speaking on Yoro’s mentality during the rehabilitation process, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag praised the youngster’s attitude, saying, "He’s very mature, great personality, dealing with it, looking forward, be positive. He’s already started his rehab."
Ten Hag highlighted Yoro’s mental strength, noting, "A fire is burning there. As I say, for his age, he is already very mature and very balanced. You don’t get him distracted. He knows what he wants, he knows where he wants to go, and I’m sure he will be returning as soon as possible to support the team and help the team winning games and winning trophies."
The Bottom Line
Yoro’s injury has thrown a wrench into Manchester United’s plans, but the club’s decision to press ahead with the signing despite possible metatarsal issues suggests a commitment to developing the young French defender.
As United fans wait anxiously for Yoro’s return to the pitch, they can take heart from Ten Hag’s assessment of the player’s mental toughness. With the Red Devils’ top brass behind him, Yoro has every chance of making a successful comeback and cementing his place in the starting XI.
