Manchester United kicked off their pre-season campaign in Norway with a dominant 2-0 victory over Leeds. The team’s perfect start continued as they secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Lyon and on their stateside tour as they clinched a sensational 2-0 victory against Arsenal at the MetLife Stadium in New York on July 22. First-half goals from new club captain Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho sealed the win. However, there was one concern that marred the occasion for the Red Devils.
21-year-old Amad Diallo‘s appearance lasted a mere 15 minutes before an unfortunate injury forced him to leave the field. The injury has left fans anxious as he was spotted on crutches with his ankle bandaged up, raising fears about the extent of his injury.
