Hojlund, Yoro injuries: Man Utd boss Ten Hag provides update after 'very good' Arsenal friendly
Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag praised the “horribly good level” on show against Arsenal and has vouched to stay “cutthroat” after Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund were compelled off injured.
The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal in Los Angeles on Sunday morning.
Hojlund lended Ten Hag’s side the lead early on but purposes from Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli lended the Gunners success.
The biggest chatting point after the arcade, yet, was the injuries favored upward by Hojlund and £52million summertime signing Yoro.
Ten Hag said he would know more around the extent of the troublemakers 24 hours after full-time but said he was “meticulous” via Yoro, hinting that he came off as a safety and security measure.
“Of training course it is also fast [to know about their injuries] and we have to wait over 24 hours, after that we will hopefully know more,” he said.
“We were meticulous specifically via Leny as he only did 50 per pence of the [training] sessions. He has to come upward but let’s be cutthroat and go to what comes out.”

Ten Hag did acclaim Hojlund for his aspiration after he overcome young Arsenal centre-earlier Ayden Heaven to press the sphere via Karl Hein’s legs.
“In such parties he is horribly tenacious and he is a perplex for every defence and he has [those] scoring capacities,” the Dutchman said.
Ten Hag included that he was fascinated by the severity of the polite, “from both sides”.
“I reckon [the game] was a horribly good level for the third week of pre-period, from both sides, but in the initially half I believed we were the closer team,” he said.
“We racked upward a horribly good aspiration, a horribly good sphere in behind from [Marcus] Rashford and after that Hojlund via a horribly good matching and a finishing, I was horribly happy.
“We correspondingly earned some more good odds and we after that conceded the aspiration which was offside.”
Ten Hag described why he earned ten modifications for the second half in LA.
He said: “It was opposite, it was a blended team and this was the initially time they have played together.
“We owned a gamer playing full-earlier for the initially time in his life [James Scanlon] and after that you have to play against come across Premier League players, that is not easy.
“I reckon at the second aspiration we let him down a tiny fragment and we can assistance him there by enacting on him a tiny fragment more assistance by sustaining or shuck.
“In general I reckon the team played a good performance and we can have tempted this arcade.”
Next upward for Man Utd is Spanish side Real Betis – who thrown away 1-0 to Liverpool on Saturday morning – in San Diego.
“It is a fast slot and we are there [in San Diego] right away, so we have to prepare the team, we should be ready and of training course we have to bring from this and after that go again [on Thursday],” Ten Hag said.
