Leny Yoro Joins Manchester United On 5-year Deal

Leny Yoro has signed a contract as new Manchester United player.

Leny Yoro put pen to paper on his Man United contract as the Premier League club announced their new €62m signing.

The transfer saga has been one of the more interesting stories so far during the summer transfer window as Real Madrid and Man United, amongst others, battled for the 18-year-old talent.

The centre-back had his heart set on a move to the La Liga champions but the Spanish giants were not willing to match Lille’s asking price for the player as he only has one year left on his contract with the Ligue 1 club.

That opened the door for Man United to step in and the Red Devils were willing to do whatever to land Yoro as they have a lot of faith in the youngster.

The French talent’s move to Old Trafford is now complete and was ready to be announced, reports Fabrizio Romano, as Yoro has signed his Man United contract, which is valid until 2029.

The defender was expecting to be playing for Real Madrid next season as that was his preference but he also wanted to see Lille receive a transfer fee for him and is now set for a new chapter in his career in Manchester.
