United manager has high hopes new boys can help club lift trophies

Zirkzee was the first signing of the summer at Old Trafford and he sealed a EUR42.5m (£36.5m) move from Bologna last month, signing a five-year contract that will expire in 2029.

Yoro joined from Lille in a deal worth EUR62m (£52.8m) plus EUR8m (£6.8m) in add-ons and impressed on his first appearance in pre-season, but disaster struck in his next game when the defender fractured his metatarsal against Arsenal, an injury that required surgery.

The Frenchman is not expected to return from the sidelines until October and was standing on crutches when he was introduced to the Old Trafford crowd before the Fulham game.

Yoro's return from injury is something for supporters to look forward to and Ten Hag, speaking to SuperSport, said he is 'sure' the centreback will help United win trophies in the future.
