Manchester United squad to face Arsenal 'confirmed' as Leny Yoro spotted ahead of debut | OneFootball

The teenager could be handed his first competitive minutes against the Gunners

Manchester United have included Leny Yoro in the squad to face Arsenal ahead of a possible debut for the summer signing.

The teenager arrived at Old Trafford during pre-season as somewhat of a transfer coup with Real Madrid also heavily interested in the former Lille defender.

Yoro soon after suffered a fractured metatarsal while on the club's pre-season tour of the United States and has been sidelined since.

But Yoro is now in line for his first competitive minutes for United after travelling with the squad to London ahead of facing the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

“I feel that now is a good moment,” United manager Ruben Amorim said of Yoro's fitness. “I think he’s a special talent, you have to be careful in this first moment, because we didn’t have too many training [sessions] together.

“He is training not alone, but with a small group of players, he is really fast, a modern defender and that is good when you want to press high and you leave a lot of strikers one against one. I think he can manage that.

"I think he is very good with the ball. I am really excited. I have to be careful, we have to manage the loads, the minutes in the beginning, but I am really excited to see Leny Yoro playing."

Manchester Evening News has pictured Yoro with the United squad on Tuesday evening in the biggest indication yet that Yoro will feature on Wednesday.

With Lisandro Martinez, along with Kobbie Mainoo, serving a one-match suspension after picking up five yellow cards, it offers an opportunity for Yoro to play, despite the daunting nature of the task at hand.

Harry Maguire was also spotted with the squad, along with fellow centre-back Matthijs de Ligt.
