Leny Yoro is back! Man Utd given huge boost as injured defender makes long-awaited return to training pitch after surgery

Premier League

Ipswich

<p>The 18-year-old is back on the grass at Carrington after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rasmus-hojlund-lenny-yoro-injury-gabriel-jesus-winners-and-losers-manchester-united-arsenal/blt1b4eafed6c494ca5" target="_blank">injuring his foot in the summer,</a> the club revealed on Monday. The centre-back, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/man-utd-lenny-yoro-red-devils-real-madrid-liverpool-gbp52m-lille-star/blt6c20f3f16147a47e" target="_blank">joined from Lille in July for £52 million ($68m),</a> is now doing individual training work at the club's training ground and is being put through his paces in the gym, too.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>United beat out Real Madrid to sign the highly-rated teenager but he is yet to play for their first-team in a competitive game due to the setback that required surgery. The club stress there is still 'plenty of work still to do' for the youngster before he makes his Red Devils debut but this is a step in the right direction.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The defender made 44 appearances in all competitions for Lille last season, scoring three goals along the way. He was in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year in 2023-24 as clubs across the world coveted his signature. In the end, United got their man and he signed a deal at Old Trafford until 2029.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While Yoro continues his rehab work, his United side take on Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday. The tie will have extra spice to it as former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho now manages the Turkish giants.</p>
