Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag says patience is needed to know the full extent of the injuries to Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund.
Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag was left with a major headache after injuries to new signings Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund in their pre-season friendly defeat against Arsenal.
The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by their Premier League rivals in Los Angeles, but the main concern for Ten Hag will be the fitness of his two highly-rated youngsters.

Ten Hag speaks on Yoro and Hojlund
Hojlund, United's £72 million arrival from Atalanta, scored the opening goal for the Manchester club but was forced off after just 15 minutes following an apparent issue with his studs getting caught in the turf.
And defender Yoro, who joined from LOSC Lille, also had to be substituted 10 minutes before half-time after picking up an injury.

Speaking after the game, a concerned Ten Hag admitted that it was too soon to know the full extent of the problems for both players.
'Of course, it is too short [to know about their injuries] and we have to wait over 24 hours, then we will hopefully know more,' the United manager told the club website.
)
'We were careful especially with Leny [Yoro] as he only did 50% of the [training] sessions. He has to come up but let's be positive and see what comes out.'
The double injury setback will be a major worry for Ten Hag, who is hoping for fewer injury worries this season after a poor 2023/24 campaign.
)
Ten Hag, who recently penned a new deal at the club, will be desperate for good news on the duo, with United's Premier League opener against Fulham just under three weeks away.
The United boss will be hoping the injuries to Yoro and Hojlund are not serious, as he looks to build on the FA Cup win last campaign at Old Trafford.
