New signing Leny Yoro is in contention to make his Manchester United debut in a friendly against Rangers on Saturday.

As reported by United's official website, 18-year-old defender Yoro has been named in Erik ten Hag's squad for the game in Edinburgh after completing his £52m move from Lille.

Jadon Sancho, who is back at United after his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund and having called a truce with ten Hag, has also been included in the squad.


Goalkeeper Andre Onana and winger Amad Diallo could also feature against Rangers at Murrayfield Stadium.

United will be without Marcus Rashford, Antony and Victor Lindelof, who the club say have small niggles.
