In their preseason friendly encounter against Real Betis on Wednesday, Man United suffered another double blow to their injury line as Marcus Rashford and Antony hobbled off.
Leny Yoro, a summer acquisition for the Red Devils, was seen on crutches with his left foot in a protective boot following an injury over the weekend.
Yoro was dubbed “one of the most exciting young defenders in world football” by Man Utd sports director Dan Ashworth. Fans saw him play in friendlies against Rangers and Arsenal.

Rashford was given medical attention prior to being substituted, and Antony, who was brought in as a second-half substitute, was forced off the field after just 23 minutes due to injury.
Although United’s only first-team additions this summer have been Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, the squad is still actively pursuing transfers and building up their youth system.
