Ruben Amorim handed Leny Yoro Man United injury 'boost' for Ipswich clash

Ruben Amorim's first game as Manchester United boss could be greeted with the return of defender Leny Yoro after a positive injury update emerged.

Yoro signed for United in the summer from Lille for a fee worth £52m after they fended off competition from Real Madrid. However, his start to life in England has been halted due to an injury picked up in pre-season.

The defender has since returned to individual training on the grass but there hasn't been any progress in his return to action. Yet according to the Evening Standard, Amorim could have the teenager available for the trip to Ipswich Town.

It's reported by the Evening Standard that Yoro is 'expected' to return to the United squad after the upcoming international break. The first game back is at Portman Road and is Amorim's first fixture as head coach.

Amorim's start date at Old Trafford doesn't officially begin for seven more days after an agreement was reached between United and Sporting CP. The 39-year-old will take charge of tomorrow's Champions League game with Manchester City before the Liga Portugal clash with Braga.

Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue on as interim boss for Thursday's game with PAOK before concluding his short spell against Leicester City next weekend.
