“OH MY GOD..I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. CAN U SEE THAT?I believe we have signed an amazing player. Just look at what he did on his first two matches. We could have won the Arsenal if he wasn’t injured. We have never had this type of player who defends likes this for ages. This exactly what we want at this club”-Manchester United fans went crazy after they noticed what Erik Ten Hag new signing has been doing on his first two Pre-Season at Manchester United.
Leny Yoro has reached out to Manchester United fans with a heartfelt message following his remarkable debut against Rangers at Murrayfield.
In the pre-season friendly, United emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over their Scottish rivals, courtesy of goals from Amad Diallo and Joe Hugill, who scored on either side of halftime.
This match also marked a significant moment for Jadon Sancho, who donned the United jersey for the first time since August, following positive discussions with manager Erik ten Hag. Moreover, Andre Onana made his inaugural pre-season appearance, aiming to build on his impressive performances from the latter part of last season.
A significant portion of the conversation about the game centered on 18-year-old Yoro. Officially joining Old Trafford from Lille on Thursday, United secured his transfer for an initial fee of £50 million, with an additional £12 million in potential future add-ons. The young French center-back made a strong impression during his debut, playing the entire first half with a sense of calm and confidence on the ball.
One of the standout moments from Yoro’s performance was a precise crossfield pass to attacking full-back Sam Murray on the left side. Additionally, he executed a crucial last-minute tackle to prevent Cyriel Dessers from taking a shot on goal.
Following the match, Yoro spoke to MUTV, reflecting on his debut and conveying his gratitude to United fans. He said, “I want to say thank you to the fans – I hope to see you soon at Old Trafford! My debut was incredible. I am happy with my performance. The staff made me comfortable. For me, it is really good. We go to America for three competitive games. The team will give everything to win them.”
