In a challenging pre-season encounter, Manchester United faced a tough 2-1 loss against Arsenal at SoFi Stadium, marred by injuries to two key players.

Rasmus Højlund and Leny Yoro were both forced to leave the field due to injuries, casting a shadow over the team’s performance.

Højlund, who had given United an early lead with his goal, experienced a muscle issue just 13 minutes into the game.

Despite his effort to continue, he was unable to continue and walked off the pitch before heading straight to the tunnel for further evaluation.

Similarly, Leny Yoro, who had recently been signed from Lille for £52 million, was also withdrawn from the match midway through the first half.

The 18-year-old was visibly limping as he made his way towards the dressing room, raising concerns about the severity of his injury.

The early exits of both players disrupted Manchester United’s strategy and contributed to their defeat in this pre-season fixture.

Ivan Juric, Atalanta’s newly appointed manager, has made it clear he wants Ademola Lookman to remain at the club despite growing transfer rumors. The Nigerian winger has attracted interest from top Serie A sides like Napoli and Juventus, as well as Premier League club Arsenal, following his impressive 22-goal campaign last season.

Juric, who previously coached at Torino and Hellas Verona, emphasized his desire to retain Lookman and midfielder Ederson, though he acknowledged that the club’s transfer strategy will ultimately decide their futures. “Ideally, we keep both Lookman and Ederson, but the club has its own plans in the market,” Juric told reporters. “I haven’t made any specific requests—I’m working with the players I have.”

Lookman has just one year left on his contract, adding urgency to Atalanta’s decision. After a breakout season with 22 goals and five assists, his future remains one of the summer’s biggest talking points in Italian football.

“Argentina Can Play Well Without Messi” – Argentina Coach Says

Lionel Scaloni, Argentina’s head coach, has suggested that while Lionel Messi remains a key figure, the team no longer depends on him to perform at their best. Messi, who has netted 112 goals in 192 appearances for the Albiceleste, has been instrumental in their recent success—leading them to a World Cup and two Copa América titles. But with the legendary forward turning 38 later this month, Scaloni is already planning for the future.

“The team has reached a point where it functions just as well with or without Leo,” Scaloni said. “Before, we had to adjust certain players when he wasn’t there, but now the system works the same way. That’s a positive sign.” Argentina’s recent performances back up his claim—they’ve secured crucial wins over Uruguay and Brazil in World Cup qualifiers even in Messi’s absence, proving their strength runs deeper than just one superstar.

At 26, Osimhen wants to keep playing in Europe. Ozbek revealed that talks are still underway to finalize the details of his contract. “Victor Osimhen is staying at Galatasaray. His feelings will play a key role. Negotiations are in progress,” Ozbek told Hurriyet. “We hope to share good news with you next week.”
