Manchester United spent big last summer. Most of those signings have been judged harshly — and in many cases, fairly. But one arrival stands out as genuinely encouraging when healthy: Leny Yoro. The 19-year-old French centre-back, signed from Lille for around £58m, showed immediately why United moved to secure him ahead of Real Madrid's interest. Composed on the ball, assured under pressure, and mature in his reading of the game — he looked like the kind of defender United have been missing for years. Yoro's injury setback frustrated that early momentum. But his return and gradual reintegration into the squad has been one of the quieter positive developments at a club that rarely produces many. With United's defensive structure still requiring significant improvement heading into next season, Yoro represents exactly the kind of long-term asset the rebuild needs. He is 19. He has already shown the ceiling is very high. The Leeds fixture on April 13 will test United's defensive resilience again. If Yoro continues his development, he becomes a cornerstone for whatever comes next. 📅 Mon 13 Apr, 19:00 UTC | Old Trafford 🏆 GW30 | The Yoro Effect
