Manchester United's pre-season tour in the U.S. began with a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Arsenal, marred by injuries to key players Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro. Hojlund scored an early goal but was forced off just 13 minutes into the match due to a suspected muscle injury, while Yoro, the new £52 million signing, also limped off in the first half. Manager Erik ten Hag expressed concern about the severity of these injuries, reflecting on the injury crisis that plagued last season with over 50 cases. Despite the loss, United managed to win a post-match penalty shootout 4-3, with Jadon Sancho scoring the decisive kick. Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli were instrumental in their team's victory, with Martinelli netting the winner late in the game. The injuries to Hojlund and Yoro raise serious concerns about United's fitness and preparations for the upcoming season.
