Man Utd injury woes deepen after Liverpool loss as three players forced off

Boss Erik ten Hag has had to deal with several issues during their pre-season tour of the United States having lost new signing Leny Yoro for three months with a foot injury, while striker Rasmus Hojlund picked up a hamstring strain in their defeat to Arsenal.

United suffered more problems in their win over Real Betis as Marcus Rashford and Antony were then withdrawn with issues, although both went on to play some part in the loss to Liverpool, but defensive trio Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof and Evans all appeared unable to continue.

Lindelof was taken off at half-time as a precaution while Evans was withdrawn due to illness.

Wan-Bissaka, who has been linked with West Ham during the transfer window, went down in the 80th minute and was treated on the field before James Scanlon replaced him, while 21-year-old Will Fish was also unable to continue following a challenge with Liverpool forward Harvey Blair.

Harry Maguire was left out of the game against Liverpool as a precaution.

Ten Hag told MUTV: "We have to see what has gone on.

"The assessment, of course, with Will Fish is it's an impact injury. We also had to sub Jonny Evans at half-time because he was ill. Victor Lindelof was a precaution. So, yeah, there are some injuries, but we have to see how bad it will be.

"Pre-season is always tough. But, yeah, Harry Maguire, as a precaution, we leave him out.

"And we had, of course, some injuries, but that is part of club football. We have to develop our team and make some good progression."
