Headache for Ten Hag as Man Untd lose two more players to injury on pre-season tour

Manchester United are set to be without some key figures for the start of 2024/25 season as  Marcus Rashford and Antony were forced off injured in their 3-2 friendly win over Real Betis.

United have been in sensational form in the ongoing pre-season tour but they lost £52million new signing Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund to injury. Yoro will reportedly miss three months with a foot injury, while Hojlund’s hamstring strain will sideline him until September.

However, things got worse on Wednesday night.

Rashford scored from the penalty spot in the victory over Betis, but walked off in discomfort before the hour mark after he took a whack to his right ankle.

Antony was one of eight players sent on at Snapdragon Stadium, but could not finish the match. The Brazilian forward exited in the 86th minute and looked disconsolate as he headed straight down the tunnel.

This latest development will serve as a huge setback for Man United. The Red Devils will begin their season with a Community Shield clash against rivals Manchester City on August 10.
