Leny Yoro: Manchester United’s French wonderkid finally returns to training
In a significant boost for Manchester United, £60 million summer signing Leny Yoro has finally returned to first-team training after a lengthy injury layoff. The 18-year-old defender, who was heavily pursued by Real Madrid before choosing Old Trafford, has yet to make his competitive debut for the Red Devils due to a metatarsal fracture suffered during pre-season.
The club released heartwarming footage showing the French prodigy’s emotional return to the training ground, where he received a rapturous welcome from his teammates.
The timing couldn’t be better, with United preparing for their crucial Europa League clash against PAOK Thessaloniki.
Yoro’s return marks the end of a frustrating period for both the player and the club, who made him one of their most expensive defensive acquisitions last summer.
The former Lille defender’s integration into the squad adds much-needed depth to United’s backline options.
The enthusiastic reception from his teammates highlights not only Yoro’s popularity within the squad but also the high expectations surrounding the French youth international.
