Its integration could have been easier. Transferred for nearly 70 million euros this summer from Lille to Manchester United, the young French defender Leny Yoro (18 years old) fractured his left foot a few days after his arrival in Manchester. This Wednesday, November 6, the Frenchman participated in his first collective session since his injury.
Not ready to play yet
“It’s a great moment for him” commented Ruud van Nistelrooy, interim coach of Man U, while awaiting the arrival of Rúben Amorim. The Portuguese technician will be able to count on Leny Yoro, something that his predecessor, Erik ten Hag, was never able to do in an official match. The former Lille player, since his arrival at the club, only played a few minutes against Glasgow Rangers then against Arsenal in a friendly before getting injured. Returning to collective training this Wednesday, November 6, Yoro is not yet ready to play his first official match in the Mancunian jersey, as his current coach warned: “We will partially recover him over the next few weeks and look to get him back on board as quickly as possible. »
