Manchester United youngster confirms injury blow following Leeds friendly

Manchester United defender Rhys Bennett has confirmed that he has suffered a 'minor injury' following Wednesday's 2-0 win over Leeds United in Oslo.
The centre-back, who captained United's Under-18s to the FA Youth Cup crown in May 2022, was one of 11 players to step off the bench at half-time at the Ullevaal Stadion.

Therefore, it is incredibly unfortunate for him that he has now suffered a fresh setback so soon after returning.

Though the extent of his injury will, of course, dictate how soon it will be before he is back on the grass, he will be hoping to
