Leny Yoro posts four-word Instagram message that will excite Man Utd fans
Leny Yoro suffered an injury playing for Manchester United in pre-season and has been on the sidelines.
Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has got fans excited by posting a four-word update on social media.
Yoro became United's second signing of the summer, joining from Lille for a fee of £52 million.
The 18-year-old, who was heavily courted by Real Madrid, penned a five-year contract.
However, he is yet to make a competitive appearance for his new club after suffering a metatarsal injury in a pre-season game against Arsenal in the United States.

Yoro required surgery which is poised to keep him on the sidelines for around three months.
But on Wednesday the young centre-back shared a positive update on his injury situation.
He posted a video of him running on the treadmill, with the caption: "On the way back”.
According to reports, United were aware that Yoro was at risk of suffering a metatarsal injury when they signed him but decided to proceed with the deal.
He played 32 times in Ligue One in the 2023/24 season and established himself as one of the most-sought after wonderkids in the world.
His United career did not get off to a good start but Red Devils supporters are hopeful his return will be a major boost when it happens.
Many already feel as though he and Harry Maguire should be United's go-to centre-back partnership after new signing Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez's struggles.
Manager Erik ten Hag discussed the progress made by Yoro in a press conference ahead of the loss to Spurs a couple of weeks back.
"Yes, he is doing very well," he said.
"It is very pleasing that his rehab is going in the right direction, and I expect him soon.
"But what I mean by soon is that he is now in the right planning process. He is in the right spot.
"He will return as soon as possible into the squad and then the team training."
