Manchester United have confirmed in an official announcement that new signing Leny Yoro (18) has undergone successful surgery for a foot injury. The former Lille defender suffered a foot injury during a friendly match against Arsenal in the Red Devils’ preseason tour of the United States.

Yoro’s surgery was a success but this is the beginning of his rehabilitation period. United have confirmed that they expect the France U21 international to still be out for a period of three months and miss the early part of the Premier League campaign.

The 18-year-old is a new signing at Old Trafford after he completed a deal worth €70m to join the Premier League club from Lille. United won the race to sign the young defender with PSG, Liverpool and Real Madrid all showing an interest but ultimately accepting defeat as he joined the Manchester club. The player wanted to join Madrid before agreeing to move to the Premier League.
