Leny Yoro can be one of the best defenders of the next generation. In fact, he could even be the strongest, despite not being able to play in the Manchester United shirt in recent months. Who knows what would have happened if Ten Hag could have counted on him? It is not known. What is certain is that Ruben Amorim will have the ability to deploy him on the pitch, finding one of the most incredible talents seen last year with Lille.
Yoro himself spoke in recent days about his possible return soon. “Every time I come to the stadium to predict the matches, I just want to be on the pitch. We are getting closer, I want to play and fight with my teammates for Manchester United.” The metatarsal injury now seems to be over after returning to training last Wednesday. Of course, some time is still needed to be able to both find the match rhythm and a condition that was lost during his period of stoppage.
Yet Leny Yoro was one step away from Real Madrid last summer. It’s a shame that Lille asked for 60 million euros for their central defender. It’s not stuff for the Galacticos, who only spend on attackers, like Mbappé, according to Florentino Perez’s tradition. Who knows if they will regret the choice. Leny Yoro turns 19 today.
