Man United duo Hojlund and Yoro limp off injured in Arsenal defeat

Hojlund fired United ahead in the 10th minute but went off five minutes later after going down with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. Asked how he felt as he walked to the team bus afterwards, Hojlund replied: ‘We’ll see.’

Yoro, who was making his second appearance since joining United in a £59million move from Lille, went off in the 33rd minute after receiving treatment on the pitch.

Manager Erik ten Hag said: ‘Of course, it is too soon and we have to wait over 24 hours, then we will hopefully know more. We were careful especially with Leny as he only did 50 per cent of the (training) sessions. He has to come up but let's be positive and see what comes out.’

Ten Hag was unhappy over Arsenal’s equaliser by Gabriel Jesus who looked offside when he equalised in the 26th minute before Gabriel Martinelli fired the winner late on.

‘I think it was a very good level for the third week of pre-season, from both sides, but in the first half I thought we were the better team,’ added Ten Hag.

‘We scored a very good goal, a very good ball in behind from (Marcus) Rashford and then Hojlund with a very good move and a finish. I was very pleased.

‘We also created some more good chances and we then conceded the goal which was offside.

‘The second half was different. It was a mixed team and this was the first time they have played together. We had a player playing full-back for the first time in his life (James Scanlon) and then you have to play against experienced Premier League players, that is not easy. Overall I think the team played a good performance and we could have drawn this game.’
