MANCHESTER UNITED continue their pre-season tour of the United States with a huge clash against Real Betis.
New £52million pound man Leny Yoro is set to miss tonight’s clash after he was seen using crutches and wearing a protective boot following his injury against Arsenal last time out.
Striker Rasmus Hojlund was also forced off in the 2-1 defeat to the Gunners and could also miss tonight’s friendly.
United’s meeting with Real Betis in California will be their penultimate match of their tour across the pond.
