Manchester United injury update: Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Red Devils kick off Premier League season at home to Fulham on Friday

Manchester United begin their Premier League campaign later this week.

The Red Devils kick off the new season at home to Fulham on Friday, little under a week after they lost the Community Shield to Manchester City at Wembley.

Erik ten Hag is under pressure to improve on last season. Despite winning the FA Cup, United finished eighth for the first time in their Premier League history and the Dutchman’s future was frequently the subject of debate.

Ten Hag’s task this time around will no doubt be helped if his squad avoid injuries. Though part and parcel of the game, United were frequently dealing with an absentee crisis last season.

Quite how much of a difference they made is up for debate but there is little doubt that having his best players available more often will help the United boss this time around.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Manchester United injuries.

Big summer signing Leny Yoro impressed on his debut against Rangers but then suffered a foot injury on his second appearance, a friendly against Arsenal in the United States.

The defender has undergone surgery and is expected to miss around three months.

Potential return date: October 2024

Rasmus Hojlund

Like Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund suffered an injury against Arsenal in America and it is expected to see him miss around six weeks.

Potential return date: September 2024

Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw has not played for United since February but did make his comeback during England’s run to the Euro 2024 final.

The left-back missed the loss to City at Wembley but Ten Hag hinted in his comments before the game that Shaw wasn’t far off a return.

"Azza [Aaron Wan-Bissaka] and Luke Shaw are both question marks, we have to assess them,” he said.

Potential return date: August 2024

Victor Lindelof

Victor Lindelof did not play against City but his injury is not believed to be serious.

Potential return date: August 2024

Tyrell Malacia

Tyrell Malacia has not played for United since May 2023 but Ten Hag recently hinted he could make a return in the relatively near future.

"He had setbacks in his rehab process,” said the United boss.

“Now we've turned a point and it's positive. He will return soon on the pitch. I don't think then it will take long before he's returning in the team training."

Potential return date: Unknown
