Leny Yoro returns to full Man Utd training for Ruben Amorim's first session | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim's first training session as Manchester United head coach was boosted by the return of centre-back Leny Yoro to the full-time group.

United paid an initial £52m to beat Real Madrid to Yoro's signature during the summer but could only watch on as he suffered a foot injury in pre-season which has kept him sidelined ever since.

The 19-year-old, therefore, missed the Erik ten Hag era at Old Trafford but appears set to play a significant role under Amorim after being spotted in full training, having previously been building his fitness with lighter work and partial involvement, for the new boss' first session.

Yoro was part of a back three which included both Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans, signs of an expected shift in formation, although fresh injury concerns have again hit the centre-back unit.

Victor Lindelof limped off on Sweden duty at the weekend, just days after fellow centre-back Lisandro Martinez withdrew from the Argentina squad. Harry Maguire is also not fully fit, leaving Amorim with limited options at centre-back.

Yoro is unlikely to be thrown directly into competitive action after the international break. Some reports have suggested he could turn out for the Under-21s to help ease him back, with minutes for United's senior side not expected to arrive until December.
