Yoro happy to be injury-free

Manchester United defender Leny Yoro could not have had a bigger change in pre-season fortunes this season.

Last July, just two weeks after from his £52m move from Lille last summer, Yoro suffered a foot injury in a friendly against Arsenal last July that prevented him from making his debut until 4 December, by which time the man who bought him – Erik ten Hag – had been sacked and replaced by Ruben Amorim.

Yoro has enjoyed better fortunes on United's pre-season trip to the United States this time around and looks nailed on to start the Premier League opener against Arsenal on Sunday, 17 August after some assured performance in his side's victorious three-match Summer Series programme.

"Last season was not easy," he said. "When you start with an injury and then have to come back during the season, it's difficult.

"But today I'm good. I did a good pre-season and I'm not injured. Hopefully, I will continue like this and try to play as many games as I can."
