Leny Yoro

In this scout report on Leny Yoro, Manchester United’s emerging centre-back, the focus is on his defensive prowess and style of play. At just 19, he’s already showcasing substantial potential in ball recovery, which is a testament to his keen sense of anticipation and timing. Yoro’s ability to regain possession is quite impressive, making him a vital cog in United’s defensive setup. However, while his progressive passing and carrying show promise, there’s room for growth in his 1v1 defending and penalty area presence, areas that will need honing as he matures. Although not typically known for his attacking output, Yoro occasionally ventures forward, adding a layer of unpredictability to his game. His overall ball retention requires improvement, but his raw talent and adaptability at such a young age suggest a bright future ahead for the young Frenchman.
