Manchester United received some positive news when the club released pictures of Leny Yoro back at Carrington.
Summer signing Leny Yoro was seen doing individual training as he stepped up his return to fitness.
Yoro suffered a metatarsal injury during pre-season, which required surgery. He has been out ever since.
Yoro was projected to be out for a few months and being back in individual training in mid to late October is on track.
He could be passed fit for a comeback in late November or early December.
Manchester United fans make Luke Shaw point
Leny Yoro is not yet ready to join his teammates in full training at Carrington. But he is further along than Luke Shaw.
Luke Shaw has not been spotted even doing individual work since he suffered his injury before the season began.
Shaw was originally projected to be back after the first international break.
Now after the second break, Shaw has still not been seen training, let alone play a match.
And this was not lost on Manchester United supporters who expressed frustration with Shaw’s continued absence, via social media.
One wrote: “Yoro back in individual training for Manchester United. This is brilliant news. It looks like Yoro might beat Luke Shaw back to fitness. Shaw’s time at United is done. Don’t pick country over Club. Remember, who pays your wages. It’s a disgrace when you think about it.”
Another added: “Leny Yoro joined Man Utd in the summer, got injured in preseason, rehabbed and returned all before Luke Shaw recovered from his injury.”
Another fan noted: “Yoro is back and Luke Shaw that went to the Euros isn’t back yet. Okay.”
A fourth added: “Yoro returning before Luke Shaw. At this point Shaw is just on indefinite extended leave. One big holiday for him!! He has to go in January!!”
And another asked: “What surprises me is that Leny Yoro has undergone a surgery and is back to grass while Luke Shaw has not returned to training, what’s the problem with Shaw?”.
Shaw situation is worrying
Luke Shaw has a terrible injury record and the situation was agitated by him going to Euro 2024 instead of resting up in the summer.
Shaw’s last game for Manchester United came back in February, while he played for England in July.
Shaw suffered another injury during pre-season for Manchester United, and has been out since, with the timeline for his return seemingly getting pushed further and further back.
Tyrell Malacia is also out with a long-term injury, although he has recently been seen doing individual training.
For now, Manchester United persist without a senior left-back.
