Leny Yoro explains why he chose Manchester United

Manchester United is running a fast-paced 2023-2024 summer transfer window. A few days ago, the Mancunian club struck a major coup by signing sensation Joshua Zirkzee, who arrived from Bologna and signed until June 2029, to strengthen its attacking sector. At the same time, the Red Devils have parted ways with Mason Greenwood. Having become unwanted in the north of England despite his excellent season at Getafe, the English striker headed to Olympique de Marseille, where he signed on Thursday. And to round off the day in style, the team led by Erik Ten Hag has made the arrival of Leny Yoro official.

With 60 matches played in the previous season despite his 18 years, the French defender shone in the LOSC colours. His regular performances under Paulo Fonseca earned him a place in the sights of the biggest European clubs. Ardently courted by Paris Saint-Germain, the Tricolore was the subject of keen interest from Real Madrid. And while the Madrid club seemed to have the right end of the rope to enlist him, Leny Yoro, motivated by the idea of ​​trying his luck abroad, finally made the decision to join England and Manchester United, who spent more than €60 million on him.

I can’t wait to get started“, the person concerned said for the club’s official website.
