After signing for the Red Devils, 21-year-old Leny Yoro was asked why he accepted the offer to join the club. The 18-year-old defender replied (via @FabrizioRomano on X):
"Since my first conversations with the club, they set out a clear plan for how I can develop as part of this exciting project, showing a lot of care for me and my family. It’s incredible honour to sign for club of Man Utd stature," Yoro said.
