Sidelined Man Utd star drops social media hint that he’ll be in the squad to face Brentford | OneFootball

Leny Yoro has shared a preview of tonight’s clash with Brentford on his Instagram story, suggesting he’ll return to the matchday squad.

The defender missed out on Manchester United’s 1-0 win away to Chelsea last weekend after being ruled out with an injury on the eve of the fixture.

Will Yoro replace Ayden Heaven vs Bees?

As a result, Michael Carrick was left with only one senior centre-half available in the form of Ayden Heaven.

He was partnered by natural full-back Noussair Mazraoui for the encounter and, remarkably, the pair oversaw a formidable display at the back.

They kept a clean sheet and prevented Chelsea’s mega-money frontline from having even a sniff at Senne Lammens’ goal, paving the way for United to claim their first win at Stamford Bridge in six years.

Alas, it would be incredibly harsh for Heaven to be dropped this evening.

Harry Maguire will be back and will presumably be instantly restored to the line-up following his two-game suspension, so Carrick has a decision to make over whether the England veteran plays alongside Yoro or Heaven.

United need to be at their best against Keith Andrews’ men

Brentford, who’ve drawn their last five Premier League games, can move up to sixth place with a win, so they’ll be absolutely desperate to leave M16 with all three points.

United’s backline are tasked with keeping Igor Thiago quiet; he has scored four goals in his last six appearances and notched a brace against United in the reverse fixture at the Gtech back in September, which saw the Bees win 3-1.
