Manchester United have been handed a double injury concern with the new Premier League season in sight after Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro were forced off during their pre-season match with Arsenal. The 21-year-old former Atalanta man, Hojlund, had opened the scoring at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
However, the Denmark international was taken off shortly afterwards as a precaution. Hojlund went down in some pain, but was deemed fit enough to walk off the pitch and down the tunnel unaided.
Hojlund put United in front with a blistering run and finish. He latched on to a long ball in California before slotting home a first goal of the pre-season schedule, but it was not all good news.
Wantaway midfielder Hannibal Mejbri replaced Hojlund and was deployed as a false nine by Erik ten Hag when he entered the fray. Gabriel Jesus levelled for the Gunners minutes after Hojlund was withdrawn to make the score 1-1 and Yoro soon followed Hojlund back into the dressing room – compounding worries for United.
