Manchester United target Lille defender with uncertain future

Lille defender Leny Yoro is attracting lots of interest with just one year remaining on his contract. An array of big clubs, including Manchester United, are being linked with the France youth international.

Yoro, 18, is a young French player that many expect to be in high demand this summer. It’s no wonder United are being linked with a move because it is clear that the squad requires better defenders and a clear out of those that don’t meet the required standards.

The centre-back has been the subject of enquiries from United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-German, as per RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins.
