Coach Erik ten Hag insisted last season could have turned out very differently had injuries not hindered Manchester United's progress, but further setbacks ahead of the new campaign have dampened the mood around Old Trafford once again.

Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund will be out for six weeks with a hamstring injury and newly signed defender Leny Yoro has been sidelined for three months after hurting his foot, the Premier League club said on Friday.

Manchester United are set to sign Lille's promising teenage defender Leny Yoro in a £52 million ($69 million) swoop, according to reports on Wednesday.
