Back in the summer, Manchester United beat Real Madrid to the signing of Lille centre-back Leny Yoro.
The move was seen as a major coup by Ineos, yet the excitement was short-lived, with Yoro suffering a fractured metatarsal in his second friendly, which required surgery and has kept him out since.
Until now. Leny Yoro is back in training and featured in Ruben Amorim’s first session – he is in contention for a place in the new head coach‘s three-man defencethis weekend against Ipswich Town.

Leny Yoro suffering an injury in pre-season was an awful blow, yet not a disastrous one in the wider context. He was able at least to avoid the woeful start to the season under Erik ten Hag.
Could it have been better if he was available? Probably, but defence has not been the issue this season, it’s been the midfield and attack which have caused the main issues.
Yoro has a fresh, untainted start under Ruben Amorim, and a three-man defence is the perfect way for him to adjust to English football, it’s perfect.
