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

Five Red Devils players timing returns for Ruben Amorim’s arrival

Ruben Amorim could be set for an almost full-strength squad to work with as he takes over at Manchester United.

Ruud van Nistelrooy signed off as interim manager with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Leicester.

And with Amorim starting work as Erik ten Hag’s successor on Monday the prognosis is positive on a number of United’s injured players.

Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo are both closing in on returns, as are longer-term absentees Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia.

Here’s a look at the latest Manchester United injuries...

Leny Yoro

Yoro is yet to make his competitive debut for United after suffering a foot injury on the pre-season tour of the USA following his big-money move from Lille.

The 18-year-old is close to a comeback after completing rehabilitation following successful surgery.

Van Nistelrooy said: “He’s been managed very well after his injury in pre-season. It was obviously going to be a long one.

Potential return date: Sunday 1 December vs Everton

Kobbie Mainoo

Mainoo has also been missing since the Villa game after suffering a muscle injury in the final stages at Villa Park.

Before the 3-0 victory over Leicester, Van Nistelrooy said: “Kobbie is also progressing in his injury, he’s making the right steps, but is not yet with the team, though. That needs a bit more time.”

Potential return date: Sunday 24 November vs Ipswich Town

Luke Shaw

Shaw hasn’t featured for United yet this season after struggling with a calf injury, but he is now closing in on a return after appearing in training ahead of the win over Leicester.

Earlier this week, Van Nistelrooy said: “Luke [is] also doing pitch work like he did today. He’s progressing [and will] hopefully [be in] partial team training soon.”

Potential return date: Sunday 24 November vs Ipswich Town

Harry Maguire

Maguire has missed seven games for United after limping off at half-time during their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa last month with a leg issue.

Before the 2-0 win over PAOK on Thursday, Van Nistelrooy said: “Harry is still inside working on his rehab.”

Tyrell Malacia

Malacia is closing in on his long-awaited comeback after missing nearly 18 months with a knee injury.

Before the Leicester game, Van Nistelrooy said: “Tyrell is the furthest [along] at the moment. He’s been part of team training for a couple of weeks now, fully with no restrictions.

“It’s good for him to play game minutes; maybe in the U21s, we have to see.”

Potential return date: Unknown
