As he accelerates his recuperation from a foot injury, Manchester United defender Leny Yoro participated in team training for the first time in three months. The 18-year-old moved from Lille to Old Trafford in July, paying 62 million euros (£52.2 million), which could go to 70 million euros (58.9 million) if add-ons are made. However, in his second preseason game for United, Yoro suffered a metatarsal injury two weeks later, necessitating surgery in early August.

Man United’s message is thrilling, according to Marcus Rashford. Ruben Amorim gave a hint.

In a letter to Manchester United supporters, Marcus Rashford suggested that they would soon be able to enjoy more visually appealing football.

Ruben Amorim will become United’s next head coach on Monday, ushering in a new era. Ruud van Nistelrooy has been temporary manager in the meantime, and he won a resounding 5-2 victory over Leicester in his debut before Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Despite the lack of fluidity in their performance against Enzo Maresca’s team, United showed encouraging attacking hints. In the first half, United used Noussair Mazraoui, Casemiro, and Rashford to play through Chelsea along the left flank in a move that caught our attention.Playing the ball down the line to Mazraoui, who then flicked an exquisite pass inside to Casemiro, Rashford initiated the move. Mazraouri, a former Ajax and Bayern Munich defender, took a few touches after the Brazilian gave the ball back to him. Rashford then beat Malo Gusto before his cross was stopped.

Rashford shared this precise move in a 44-second video on X, the former name for Twitter, on Wednesday. He included the UP! button emoji and a link emoji as captions.One United supporter retorted, “Amorim has a plan.” Another wrote: “Well done you all completed a good passing passage of play loving that perfectly weighted first time pass from Casemiro tho.” Another said, “You’d better start running more, Amorim is coming.” Says a fourth: “New era pending!”

After Erik ten Hag was fired, United announced on Friday that Amorim would be joining them as head coach. Van Nistelrooy will captain the team for this week’s matches against PAOK and Leicester, and the 39-year-old will coach his first match against Ipswich following the November international break.

“I asked United if it could be at the end of the season,” Amorim remarked upon his appointment as United’s next manager. I wanted it. United declined. It was either now or never. I therefore had to decide. I can do things my way, so this is just the setting I wanted [United struggling].

“No Sporting supporter was more eager for me to stay until the end of the season than I was. However, it was not feasible. Some claim it’s for financial gain. It isn’t. I declined when other teams offered to pay three times as much. I wanted this club, [United].
