00:00Manchester United should know the extent of the injuries to Rasmus Hodgeland and Lenny

00:06Yorow within 48 hours after the pair both had to be substituted in the first half of

00:11the 2-1 pre-season defeat to Arsenal in Los Angeles.

00:17Hodgeland had given United a tenth-minute lead when he latched onto Marcus Rashford's

00:21pass to power a shot through Arsenal goalkeeper Carl Heine.

00:27The Denmark striker also turned in Aaron Wan-Bissaka cross wide from close range but

00:31then suffered a muscle injury after just 15 minutes, forcing his withdrawal.

00:38The 18-year-old defender Yorow, who only joined United from Lille for £52m earlier this month,

00:45went down and needed lengthy treatment, before he too called it a day.

00:50We have to wait 24 hours and then we will hopefully know more.

00:54We were very careful, especially with Lenny.

00:57It is disappointing he had to come off but let's be positive and see what comes out.

01:03The usual procedure is to wait after 24 hours for any swelling to dissipate and then do

01:09a scan for a more accurate assessment.

01:12Hodgeland seemed to indicate to the medical team that he had a hamstring issue after a

01:16sprint shortly after showing superior pace and physicality to score the opening goal.

01:23Yorow limped off after lengthy treatment and there looked to be more concern around his

01:27injury.

01:28Speaking to the press afterwards, defender Jonny Evans reflected on the concerns over

01:32Hodgeland and Yorow, saying, ''Obviously, you don't want any injuries, especially in

01:38pre-season.''

01:39''You know one of the biggest things you're trying to avoid while also getting fit at

01:44the same time.

01:46Injuries are hopefully not too bad, but we'll see, probably see tomorrow, I'm sure.''

01:52Muscle injuries aren't great either.

01:54But I actually don't know Rasmus.

01:57I think he sort of hinted at his hamstring.

01:59I'm not sure about it.

02:01Eric Tenhag had already warned that this new season would be down to the survival of the

02:06fittest.

02:08Given the spate of injuries that severely undermined any signs of progress last season,

02:13the loss of two senior players in a fairly innocuous manner less than three weeks before

02:18United's opening Premier League game against Fulham at Old Trafford on 16 August.

02:25The Dutchman is questioning whether his luck will ever turn.

02:28Will Tenhag's bad luck ever turn?

02:31Hodgeland headed straight down the tunnel while Yorow seemed to be in quite some discomfort.

02:36After Viktor Lindelof was ruled out with a minor injury, 20-year-old Reis Bennett, who

02:40spent parts of last season on loan at Stockport partnered Harry Maguire after Yorow's substitution.

02:47The setback scuppered a bright start in the Sofi Stadium and Tenhag was also enraged by

02:52Gabriel Jesus' equalizer, believing it ought to have been disallowed for offside.

02:58Gabriel Martinelli then turned inside 17-year-old full-back James Scanlon to score the winner

03:04but it will be those high-profile losses that will concern Tenhag the most.

03:09United did succeed in a pre-arranged penalty shootout that followed full-time in Los Angeles,

03:15with Jadon Sanko scoring the winning spot-kick to seal a 4-3 victory.

03:21Mason Mount also looked bright as he attempts to kick-start his United career following

03:26lengthy periods on the sidelines during his debut campaign.
