00:00Striker Rasmus Hodgeland and £52m new signing Lenny Yarrow both suffered first-half injuries
00:05as Manchester United lost their opening US Tour game against Premier League rivals Arsenal
00:102-1 in Los Angeles.
00:12Hodgeland had given his side a tenth-minute lead when he burst onto Marcus Rashford's
00:16first-time pass, outmuscled young defender Aidan Heaven, then beat keeper Carl Hine with
00:20a shot through his legs.
00:22The Dane turned a low Aaron Wan-Bissaka cross wide from close range before seeming to experience
00:27a muscle injury after 15 minutes that meant he could not continue.
00:31Yarrow's exit was equally innocuous.
00:34The 18-year-old defender, who only joined United from Lille 10 days ago, went down and
00:39needed lengthy treatment, before he too called it a day.
00:43Given the huge number of injuries that wrecked last season for manager Eric Ten Hag, to lose
00:47two senior players in such a manner fewer than three weeks before United open their
00:51new Premier League campaign against Fulham at Old Trafford on August 16 is not ideal.
00:56We have to wait 24 hours and then we will hopefully know more," Ten Hag told MUTV.
01:02We were very careful, especially with Lenny.
01:05It is disappointing he had to come off but let's be positive and see what comes out.
01:10Despite the bright start, the result was not to the Dutchman's satisfaction either.
01:15Gabriel Jesus levelled with a close-range finish after 25 minutes, which Ten Hag was
01:19certain should have been disallowed for offside, before substitute Gabriel Martinelli cut inside
01:2417-year-old rookie full-back James Scanlon to score the winner.
01:28United did triumph in a pre-arranged penalty shootout that followed, with Jadon Sancho
01:33scoring the decisive spot-kick to seal a 4-3 win.
01:37Injury woe for Ten Hag Ten Hag made the demands being placed on
01:41players this season a theme of his pre-match news conference, stating the campaign itself
01:45would be a survival of the fittest and that it will happen when talking of injuries.
01:50The reality must have exceeded his worst fears as first Hodgeland, then Yarrow went
01:54down of their own accord.
01:56Hodgeland appeared to feel his groin before making his way straight down the tunnel.
02:01Yarrow took the longer route after lengthy treatment but was walking exceptionally slowly
02:05and seemed to be in a lot of discomfort.
02:08Viktor Lindelof had also been ruled out with an injury niggle, so 20-year-old Rhys Bennett,
02:12who spent the second half of last season on loan at Stockport, took over as Harry Maguire's
02:17defensive partner.
