“OH MY GOD..I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. CAN U SEE THAT?I believe we have signed an amazing player. Just look at what he did on his first two matches. We could have won the Arsenal if he wasn’t injured. We have never had this type of player who defends likes this for ages. This exactly what we want at this club”-Manchester United fans went crazy after they noticed what Erik Ten Hag new signing has been doing on his first two Pre-Season at Manchester United.
In a recent friendly match at Murrayfield, young French center-back Leny Yoro captured the attention of Manchester United fans following his impressive debut against Rangers. The game ended with a 2-0 victory for United, courtesy of goals from Amad Diallo and Joe Hugill, who scored on either side of halftime.
The match was significant not just for the scoreline but also for several key moments. Fans were thrilled to see Jadon Sancho back in action, showcasing his skills after positive discussions with manager Erik ten Hag. Additionally, Andre Onana made his first pre-season appearance, aiming to build on his strong performances from the previous season.
However, the standout moment was Yoro’s debut. The 18-year-old, who had just signed with Manchester United from Lille for an initial fee of £50 million plus potential add-ons totaling £12 million, showcased his talent and poise. Playing the entire first half, Yoro impressed with his ball-handling skills and defensive abilities. Notably, he executed a precise crossfield pass to attacking full-back Sam Murray and made a crucial tackle to prevent Cyriel Dessers from scoring.
After the match, Yoro expressed his gratitude and excitement to the fans through MUTV. He said, “Thank you to the fans – I can’t wait to see you all at Old Trafford! My debut was amazing. I’m pleased with how I played, and the staff made me feel comfortable. We’re heading to America for some competitive games, and the team is determined to win them.”
Looking ahead, Manchester United’s pre-season tour in the United States promises to be an exciting journey, with matches scheduled against notable teams like Arsenal, Real Betis, and Liverpool. This tour will serve as vital preparation for the upcoming Community Shield match against Manchester City on August 10. United will then kick off their 2024/25 Premier League season against Everton at Old Trafford on August 16, setting the stage for an eagerly anticipated season.
