The football world is abuzz as Leo’s 18-year-old center back, Lenny Yoro, prepares for a medical with Manchester United in the UK. Yoro made his debut for Leo in May 2022, becoming the club’s second youngest ever player after Eden Hazard. With an impressive record of 60 appearances for Leo, including 44 last season where they secured a fourth-place finish with the third-best defensive record in the league, Yoro has caught the eye of top clubs with his aerial prowess and defensive skills.

Standing at 6’3″, Yoro is dominant in the air, winning 64% of his aerial duels last season. His adeptness at sweeping behind the defensive line showcases his excellent anticipation, allowing him to intercept balls from attackers at crucial moments. Despite initial thoughts that Real Madrid was his preferred destination, Manchester United persisted and reached an agreement with Leo for a deal worth over 50 million. Ten Hag and his team are now optimistic about finalizing the deal and securing Yoro’s talents for the club’s defense.

Lenny Yoro’s journey from Leo’s youth ranks to a potential move to Manchester United is a testament to his skill and potential as a center back. With a bright future ahead of him, Yoro’s transfer saga highlights the competitiveness among top clubs to secure emerging talents. Football fans eagerly await his arrival in the Premier League and the impact he will have on Manchester United’s defense.
