After Manchester United's 2-1 loss to Arsenal in a friendly game at SoFi Stadium in California, manager Erik ten Hag has given an update on the team's injuries. Rasmus Hojlund gave the Red Devils the lead in the tenth minute, but his happiness was brief as he needed to be replaced soon after because of a leg injury. 

Concerns were raised regarding the teenage striker's fitness when he left the field and went straight down the tunnel. Hojlund left the game early, but not before stopping for a little visit in the lap of honor and showing gratitude to the supporters.

Leny Yoro was also replaced in the first half due to a possible muscle problem. Yoro made an excellent impression during his Red Devils debut versus the Rangers last week. Following his substitution during the 36th minute, he was observed to be limping. Ten Hag's team is hoping the injury won't be too severe because they anticipate the £52 million acquisition from Lille to have a big impact on the team this coming season.

The former Ajax manager said, “It’s too short, we have to wait over 24 hours then hopefully we will know more. We were very careful, especially with Leny. He did only 50 per cent of the sessions and that is very disappointing that he came off, but let’s be positive and see what is coming out."

“We scored a very good goal, a very good ball in behind” : Erik Ten Hag

Ten Hag saw a silver lining in Manchester United's performance despite the defeat, pointing out that both sides had an excellent showing during the third week of the preseason. 

He said, "I think [the game] was a very good level for the third week of pre-season, from both sides, but in the first half I thought we were the better team. We scored a very good goal, a very good ball in behind from [Marcus] Rashford and then [Rasmus] Hojlund with a very good move and a finish, I was very pleased."
