Leny Yoro, an 18-year-old French defender, has joined Manchester United from Lille for £52.2 million, having been influenced by United legends Rio Ferdinand and Angel Gomes. In his debut match, a friendly against Rangers, Yoro impressed with a mature performance, described by manager Erik ten Hag and praised by goalkeeper Andre Onana. United secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Amad Diallo and Joe Hugill. Erik ten Hag indicated Yoro would be a key part of the defensive lineup, while the club continues to seek additional defensive signings. United outbid Real Madrid to secure Yoro, and they now prepare for upcoming games in the United States against Arsenal, Real Betis, and Liverpool.
