Not only because they offered more money than Real Madrid, the reason why Leny Yoro arrived to Man Utd

This summer seemed like a battle between Manchester United and Real Madrid for Leny Yoro because the French defender is one of the most exciting young defenders in the market. The former Lille defender was the ideal center-back for Real Madrid this summer as Los Blancos lost their captain, Nacho Fernandez, who left the club to join Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah FC.

Real Madrid wanted to sign Yoro this summer as they wanted to make the squad even younger. Lille wanted a transfer fee that was higher than $60 million, but Real Madrid was confident that the player would want until next summer to join the club as a free agent.

Yoro spoke about accepting the move to Manchester United this summer, which the move was made officially a couple of days ago. The French defender praised the Premier League club, and his words surprised many fans.

Yoro said, “Manchester United is the biggest club in the world. For me, it was a dream to play for this club! The fans here are incredible.”

“I spoke with Ten Hag. He wants players who really want to win. When he puts me on the pitch, I'm ready to die for this club.”

Some Real Madrid fans feel offended since rumors suggested that Yoro only wanted to make the Real Madrid move this summer or that he is willing to play another season at Lille and then join Los Blancos next summer as a free agent. Yoro continued to praise the club as he said, “This is a dream from when I was young. I am very happy. I know this is the biggest league in the world, and Old Trafford is the best stadium in the world."

Yoro already made his debut for the team as he played just two days after Man United announced him on the club’s social media pages. He will be wearing the number 15 next season and played 45 minutes in the friendly match against Rangers, which as a 2-0 win for the Red Devils.

Many Manchester United fans consider Leny Yoro to be a generational talent. The central defender will be used a lot by Erik Ten Hag, as the Man United manager started him just a few days after the club announced the signing. Rio Ferdinand is very happy with the United scout who recommended Sir Jim Ratcliffe to sign him. He is set to be the next exciting young defender as names like William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano.
