Dan Ashworth, the sporting director of United, further stated, “Leny is one of the most captivating young defenders in the world of football; he possesses every quality necessary to become a world-class center-back.”

 

“We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to assist him in realizing his immense potential at Manchester United, given his exceptional start to his career.”

 

“This club has an exceptional track record of fostering the growth and success of young players, whether they are homegrown or imported from other sources, by providing them with the necessary guidance, time, and patience.”

 

We will guarantee that Leny has the ideal foundation to accomplish the success that all members of the club are striving for under the guidance of Erik ten Hag and our exceptional staff.

 

United’s X post was inundated with fans who were overjoyed with the news of the acquisition.

 

One individual stated, “He is present and flawless.” Leny Yoro.

If they are able to transfer some fringe players in order to raise the necessary funds, it is anticipated that United will be in the market for another centre-back.

 

As Erik ten Hag endeavors to fortify his team’s foundation, central midfield continues to be a top priority.
