Manchester United make transfer U-Turn after Leny Yoro injury concern

Manchester United have seemingly made a transfer U-Turn after Leny Yoro suffered an injury in a pre-season friendly against Arsenal.

Yoro, 18, became United’s second signing of the summer after joining from Lille earlier this month.

The teenager is expected to play a major role in Erik ten Hag’s side, particularly in the long-term, but he suffered a setback in his second game for the club.

He was brought off before half-time against Arsenal on the weekend and looked visibly upset. The full extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed but reports have suggested that Ten Hag is concerned that it will be for an extended period.

Various reports over the last few months have namedropped potential exits from United this summer and Harry Maguire was a regular inclusion in those.

Maguire, 31, was close to leaving the club last summer after West Ham agreed a deal with the Reds for the defender.

However, a move never materialised due to the personal terms of the potential deal. Maguire wanted to stay at United and prove himself.

Last term, the 31-year-old performed well and was consistent even when he fought through injury to play for Ten Hag’s side.

However, with sales needed this summer, it appeared that United would need to move him on this time around.

Yet, according to Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy, speaking to the United Stand, the English centre-back will not be leaving Old Trafford this summer.

“Unless the club tell me I’m up for sale, or I’m not wanted there anymore, then everything I’ve heard and the action that I’ve been shown from the club [is that I’m] part of the future,” said Maguire last week.
