'Special talent' Yoro set for United debut against Arsenal

Ruben Amorim expects "special talent" Leny Yoro to be in the Manchester United squad for the first time against Arsenal on Wednesday.

The Red Devils are preparing to take on Mikel Arteta's Gunners in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium, where 19-year-old Yoro could make his long-awaited debut.

Yoro joined United in the summer from Lille in a €62million deal, rising to €70m, only to sustain a metatarsal injury in his second pre-season appearance.

The French teenager underwent surgery in early August and returned to training on 6 November, with the defender set to be involved in the squad for the first time this midweek.

"Maybe Leny Yoro is going to be in the squad," Amorim said. "I felt that he is in a good moment now, his fitness is better, so I think he's going to be in the squad.

"I think he's a special talent. We have to be careful in this first moment because we didn't have too many trainings together, so he is training not alone but with a small group of players.

"He's really fast, he's a modern defender, and that is good when you want to press high and you leave a lot of strikers, especially in this league, one against one. I think he can manage that. He is very good with the ball, so I am very excited.

"We have to careful, we have to manage the load and the minutes in the beginning, but I am really excited to see Leny Yoro playing."

As well as the positive update on Yoro, Amorim confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will be available for the Emirates Stadium encounter.

The United skipper was substituted in the second half of Sunday's 4-0 win against Everton and was seen on the bench with ice on his left ankle.

"The rest I have to see it because some players were tired and we have to assess tomorrow in training," Amorim said
