New players Manchester UnitedLeny Yoro, stated that it was Rio Ferdinand who persuaded him to join Erik ten Hag’s squad in the 2024 summer transfer window.
“About two weeks ago (had a conversation with Rio). He called me. I was impressed to be able to talk to him, and we spoke for ten minutes about United, so he helped me a lot in making my decision. It was a great honour to be able to talk to him,” Yoro was quoted as saying by Goal.

“He talked to me about the club, that it’s a historic club with a big story, and if I go there, I have to fight for this team, because it’s the biggest club in the world. For me, it’s very good to talk about this,” he concluded.
Bringing Yoro from Lille for £52m is certainly a brilliant move for Man United. In addition to being 18 years old, the French defender also made a positive impression when he made his debut in a friendly against Rangers.
Therefore, Yoro can also be used as a long-term prospect for The Red Devils. Moreover, he also has high ambitions by helping Man United achieve much success.
