Ruben Amorim’s first training session as Manchester United head coach received a boost with the return of center-back Leny Yoro to full training.
United secured the 19-year-old’s signature for an initial £52m in the summer, beating Real Madrid to the deal, but his pre-season was derailed by a foot injury that has sidelined him until now. As a result, Yoro missed the Erik ten Hag era but now seems set to play an important role under Amorim. Having previously worked on his fitness through lighter sessions, he was spotted fully involved in Amorim’s first session.
Yoro lined up in a back three alongside Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans, hinting at a potential tactical shift. However, injuries continue to impact United’s defensive options. Victor Lindelof suffered a knock while on Sweden duty, just days after Lisandro Martinez withdrew from the Argentina squad. Harry Maguire is also not yet fully fit, leaving Amorim with limited choices in central defense.

While Yoro’s return is promising, he is unlikely to be rushed into competitive action immediately after the international break. Reports suggest he may feature for the Under-21s initially, with first-team minutes expected in December.
