Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has been working hard on his rehabilitation on Carrington since sustaining a serious injury during our pre-season tour of the United States.

Yoro, who joined from Lille in the summer, has shared a video of himself training at Carrington as a teaser for what's to come when he returns to full fitness.

The highly-rated French defender has reached the next phase in the process, as the photographers at Carrington gathered to show off the club's new signing as he steps up his efforts to recover in training.

According to ManUtd.com, Yoro was put through his paces in the gym at Carrington on Thursday, under the watchful eye of the team's medical staff.

United We Stand editor Andy Mitten adds that this marks the start of Yoro's initial individual training in the outdoors since his injury. It's encouraging news but he will be carefully managed throughout the rest of the recovery process.

That first half in LA pre-season did so much damage to MUFC

The medical team had a busy weekend in the middle of a controversy at Old Trafford, as United overcame Brentford at Old Trafford.

Brentford opened the scoring while Matthijs de Ligt was receiving medical attention on the side of the pitch, despite needing any after having his cut cleaned up for a second time during the first half.

He appeared against Rangers during the pre-season tour before picking up a foot injury against Arsenal.

Hopefully, Yoro can make his competitive debut before Christmas but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Yoro is not expected to start games immediately but he will provide cover at centre-back for Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt. The duo were joined by Jonny Evans for another star performance at the back against Brentford on Saturday.

The rest of the United squad is preparing to face Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday night.
