Manchester United’s unhappy Premier League season found a new depth to plunge to on May 11.
Unbeaten all season in the Europa League en route to booking a place in the Final, Manchester United are a totally different team in the Premier League.
The latest poor result was a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford to a poor West Ham team, who were still a gulf above the Red Devils in quality.
And then to top off a bad afternoon which left the club a rancid 16th in the table, Leny Yoro suffered an injury.

Leny Yoro injury latest
Leny Yoro hobbled off in the 52nd minute, replaced by Victor Lindelof. It is fair to ask why the young Frenchman was not rested in the first place.
Amorim had selected a relatively strong XI, sensing a potential victory at Old Trafford, only to see United fall flat once again in the league.
Yoro’s injury was the most miserable moment of the game, with fans fearing he could miss the Europa League Final.
BBC reporter Simon Stone provided a little context around Leny Yoro’s injury, relaying what he spotted as the Frenchman left the stadium.
“Leny Yoro was not wearing a protective boot or using crutches as he left the stadium,” he reported.
Ruben Amorim optimistic
Ruben Amorim has already seen centre-back Lisandro Martinez ruled out for the season with a torn ACL.
Amorim immediately knew that was a terrible injury, but his words regarding Leny Yoro display some optimism, alongside the fact the defender did not leave the stadium in a protective boot.
He said: “We have to assess Leny in a better way tomorrow [Monday]. He felt something but I think it could be a small thing.”
Referring back to Yoro’s pre-season metatarsal injury, he added: “He had that problem at the beginning of the season. We hope it’s not too serious. I don’t want to say too much but maybe it’s not a big deal.”
