Erik Ten Hag faces an anxious wait to determine the severity of injuries to Manchester United players Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro. Hojlund, 21, was substituted in the first half of United’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in Los Angeles after scoring the opening goal.

The £72 million striker appeared to injure his hamstring and limped off the pitch. Shortly after, 18-year-old Leny Yoro, a recent £52 million signing from Lille, left the game with an ankle injury. Ten Hag commented, “It is too soon, and we have to wait over 24 hours to know more. We were cautious with Leny as he only participated in 50% of the sessions. But let’s stay positive.”

Last season, United endured 66 separate incidents of player injuries or illnesses, contributing to their eighth-place finish in the Premier League. Ten Hag is concerned about the increased fixture load, particularly with the new European competition format, which could exacerbate injury risks this season.
