Liverpool missed out on signing Leny Yoro who has now sustained a significant foot injury during Man Utd pre-season, potentially sidelining him for a while.
Rivals’ New Addition
Leny Yoro, recently signed by Manchester United from Lille, suffered a foot injury during a pre-season friendly against Arsenal, raising concerns about his availability for the start of the season.
This injury is a significant blow for United and manager Erik ten Hag, who had intended to integrate the 18-year-old into his revamped defence.
The injury occurred in the 33rd minute of the match, and Yoro was later seen on crutches, with a protective boot on his left foot.
Setback In Pre-season
The setback for Yoro comes after United managed to secure his signature, pipping Liverpool and Real Madrid in the process.
This injury not only affects United’s pre-season plans but also highlights the potential gap in their defence.
If Yoro remains sidelined, United might have to rely on Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans as their central defensive pairing, which might not be their preferred choice.
This situation could impact United’s performance in the early stages of the Premier League season.
Liverpool Relieved That Yoro Joined Man Utd
Meanwhile, Liverpool, who missed out on signing Yoro, might feel a sense of relief seeing their rivals struggle with defensive issues.
Liverpool’s pre-season preparations under new manager Arne Slot are progressing smoothly, with the team focusing on their upcoming fixtures and potential transfers.
As United deal with their defensive woes, Liverpool aim to capitalize on their rivals’ misfortune and strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
