Ruben Amorim had positive update for Man United despite 17th league defeat of the season | OneFootball

Manchester United’s struggles in the Premier League continued on Sunday as they fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against West Ham United at Old Trafford.

The result marked United’s 17th league loss of the season, a statistic that further highlights their inconsistency under Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils looked lethargic and disjointed throughout the match, struggling to create clear-cut chances against a well-organised West Ham side.

Adding to United’s woes, manager Amorim was left deeply concerned over the fitness of Leny Yoro, who limped off the pitch against the Hammers.

Yoro appeared visibly emotional as he left the pitch, covering his face and limping after going down with an apparent foot injury, the same foot he previously broke and required surgery on earlier in the season.

United’s medical staff rushed onto the pitch to provide immediate attention, but after a brief assessment, it became clear that Yoro could not continue.

However, in a post-match interview, Amorim provided an encouraging update that would certainly lift the spirits of United supporters.

Amorim said: “We hope it’s nothing serious. We will assess the player but I think it is a small thing,” according to BBC Sport.

Despite the disappointing outcome for United, Yoro, alongside Amad Diallo, was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise lackluster team performance.

In recent weeks, Yoro has showcased significant growth, not only in his defensive responsibilities but also with his willingness to push forward and contribute to United’s attack.

With the Europa League final on the horizon, United fans are eagerly hoping for Yoro’s quick recovery, as his recent performances suggest he is destined to be a crucial figure in Amorim’s setup against Tottenham.

Further medical assessments are expected to provide clarity on Yoro’s fitness in the coming days. Until then, his participation in the Europa League final remains in doubt.
