“You Don’t know what we just signed. This boy is a demon. Real Madrid could have signed a wolrd class defender but this was why he choose Manchester United. You need to watch his Video to know the beast we signed”-Rio Ferdinand’s social media post reacting to Leny Yoro deal sends Man Utd fans wild after watch the video of what Man United Defender is doing to League 1 defenders
Rio Ferdinand’s reaction on social media to Manchester United’s pursuit of Leny Yoro has sent fans into a frenzy.
According to The Athletic, Yoro is en route to the UK to undergo a medical examination and finalize personal terms with Manchester United. The deal between Lille and United is reportedly set at an initial fee of £52 million.
Initially, Yoro favored a move to Real Madrid. However, he has since warmed up to the idea of joining Manchester United. With just a year remaining on his contract, Lille prefers to sell him now rather than risk losing him for free next year.
Although the deal is not yet finalized, Rio Ferdinand quote tweeted Fabrizio Romano’s post about the potential move, adding only an eyes emoji followed by a wink emoji. This cryptic response has led fans to speculate whether the former United centre-back has some inside information.
Responses to Ferdinand’s tweet included:
– “Show us the DMs now, Rio.”
– “We’ve got the next Rio Ferdinand and Raphael Varane.”
– “Him and Lisandro partnership hope they give us Rio and Vidic flashbacks.”
– “Rioooo, We Are Manchester United.”
– “He’s coming.”
Yoro emerged from Lille’s youth academy and made his first-team debut in May 2022. Last season, he made 44 appearances as Lille secured a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1.
United had also shown interest in Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt. The 24-year-old is reportedly keen on joining United, and positive talks have taken place with the Bundesliga club. De Ligt played under United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax, where they won the Eredivisie and reached the Champions League semi-final in 2019.
Manchester United is seeking to replace Raphael Varane, who left the club following the expiration of his contract.
