Leny Yoro travelling with Manchester United squad to London for clash vs. Arsenal – Man United News And Transfer News

1

Manchester United defender Leny Yoro is reportedly travelling with his teammates to the capital, ahead of their meeting with Arsenal.

United are set to come up against Mikel Arteta’s men on Wednesday at the Emirates.

In his presser, head coach Ruben Amorim revealed that Yoro was in contention to be included in the matchday squad for the game against the Gunners

Yoro fractured a metatarsal in a pre-season friendly against Arsenal in Los Angeles in July, just a week after joining United for £52million from Lille.

He has been in training in recent weeks following surgery but he hasn’t been named in any matchday squad.

According to Steven Railston of Manchester Evening News, “Leny Yoro is travelling down to London with the United squad to face Arsenal.”

Railston’s information almost certainly confirms that Yoro will be available to Amorim for selection.

A previous report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Amorim is eager to work with the Frenchman, who is widely considered to be a generational talent.

United warded off significant competition from the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain to secure his services in the summer.

What is not clear is whether Amorim will start Yoro on the bench or immediately thrust him into the action. The former appears to be more likely as it would mean the teenager is gently reeled back in after a lengthy period on the sidelines.

Amorim is unbeaten in his first three games in charge of United but the Red Devils have now won at the Emirates since January 2019.

Kick-off is at 20:15 BST.
