Man Utd Lose Højlund and Yoro to Injuries in 2-1 Pre-Season Defeat to Arsenal
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Similarly, Leny Yoro, who had recently been signed from Lille for £52 million, was also withdrawn from the match midway through the first half.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.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
