Manchester United new signing Leny Yoro has undergone successful surgery and the 19-year-old has given an update on his progress.

Yoro moved to Manchester United from Lille for a fee believed to be £52million earlier this summer as the Red Devils looked to rejuvenate their squad ahead of the 2024/25 season. However, the Frenchman suffered an unfortunate injury in the friendly against Arsenal and has now undergone ankle surgery. The 19-year-old shared an upbeat statement on Instagram as he begins his rehabilitation.

In his Instagram post, Yoro said: “It’s not the start I wanted, but that’s football… The operation went well. Thank you for your many messages of support. Now, time for patience and rehabilitation work. See you soon, stronger!”

Optimistic despite everything

After a disastrous end to the Premier League season, which saw Manchester United’s defence concede a record number of goals, the Red Devils have decided that a dressing room overhaul is in order, particularly in defence. They have let go of Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala and signed Yoro. United are also reportedly looking to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka and sign Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt.

The Frenchman is expected to be sidelined for a long time as he is expected to be out for almost three months. However, Yoro is hoping to make a quick return to competition as he begins his recovery soon.
