Leny Yoro tells Man United supporters what to expect on his return as injury update given

Leny Yoro has told Manchester United fans what to expect from him when he returns from his long-term foot injury.

The summer signing has yet to make his competitive debut for his new club having sustained a fractured metatarsal in pre-season. It is a setback that is expected to keep him out until late November with the defender still in a left-foot protective boot brace.

Yoro, 18, arrived from Lille in a £52million transfer to become Ten Hag’s first recruit of the window but will ultimately be the last of the summer intake to make his bow. The teenager has been tipped for a bright future and had a number of clubs linked with him prior to his Old Trafford move.

Real Madrid and Liverpool were both linked with signing the defender but United ultimately prevailed, having seen Lille president Olivier Letang tell Yoro that he was free to find a new club before the new campaign. Many fans are excited to see the youngster in action after a promising stint in pre-season prior to his setback.

Yoro himself has now outlined what supporters can expect from him when he does finally make his maiden appearance. Speaking to TNT Sports, the Frenchman underlined his tranquil mindset, coupled with his eagerness to do his homework.

He said: “I try to be intelligent on the pitch, to play with my head, to understand the game, the opponent. And to be calm. Be calm with the ball, when I defend.

“When I was in Lille, every weekend I was looking at clips of the striker to understand the movements, how he wants to receive the ball. This helps a lot.”
