Lent Yoro squad number confirmed
Manchester United have confirmed Leny Yoro will wear the squad number 15.
He follows in the footsteps of another great Manchester United centre-back, Nemanja Vidic.
Jadon Sancho is back
Jadon Sancho is involved in a United squad for the first time since August 2023 today.
It’s been a long road to get here. From the fall-out in the aftermath of the Arsenal defeat to a middling loan spell at Borussia Dortmund to his eventual apology to Erik ten Hag which has seen him return to the first-team squad.
Ten Hag keeping his job seemed to be the end of Sancho at United but he now has a second chance. He will have to apply himself well over pre-season if he has a chance to rescue his flailing career.
How Manchester United could line up vs Rangers
The announcement of the travelling squad has completely changed our predicted starting XI to face Rangers.
Not only has Leny Yoro surprisingly made the trip to Edinburgh but Marcus Rashford and Antony have stayed at home while Jadon Sancho is involved.
However, Yoro still might not start the match since only being involved in one training session with his new teammates, so the defence may stay the same.
Predicted XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Will Fish, Jonny Evans, Sam Murray; Casemiro, Mason Mount, Hannibal; Amad, Wheatley, Sancho.
