Manchester United transfer news as Erik ten Hag defensive overhaul well underway but money could have been saved
For those watching closely, Leny Yoro being the centre of a bidding war between some of Europe's top clubs is no surprise. Perhaps the only real shock is that it has taken even this long for moves to be made.
He has European pedigree having played against Aston Villa in the Conference League earlier this year. He started all but four of Lille's Ligue matches in 2023/24. That was a significant rise on the 13 appearances the season before, but he could hardly have been held in much higher regard. Their price is £45million. Often lower than what clubs would actually demand for their players, Yoro's entry here demonstrates yet again just why he is held in such esteem. What may well prove to be a kick in the teeth for United is that although Yoro's trajectory is only going up, and should they sign him it is almost certain that he will prove to be not only value for money, but actually continue to increase in price, he was not valued as much last summer.
Familiar players once again filled that team, including Endrick, Neves, Zaire-Emery , Yamal, and perhaps surprisingly, Brighton's Evan Ferguson up front. Alejandro Garnacho was the most valuable teenage left-winger, too. This all again goes to show the level that Yoro is already playing at, and where many believe he can get to.
