Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has responded on social media after his tough match against Crystal Palace.
The only disappointed Manchester United player after the win over Crystal Palace was Leny Yoro.
The 20-year-old defender was substituted after just 53 minutes, after having given away a penalty in the first half.
Yoro looked disappointed at full-time and had to be consoled post-match by Mason Mount, who was seen putting an arm around the centre-back’s shoulder.
The former Lille prospect has now sent out a message on social media.

Do you think Yoro should start the next match? 🤔
Leny Yoro sends message
Leny Yoro sent out a message showing how he intends to bounce back from the personally tricky afternoon at Selhurst Park.
He wrote: “𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 – 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 – 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐧 🧠”
He added a Bible verse, posting: “Proverbs 24:16, For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.”
The message displayed Yoro’s clear intention to make sure he is in the right mental space to bounce back at the next possible opportunity.
Teammates Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw were the first to respond on social media and show their support for the centre-back.
Yoro will hope to be back in the starting line-up to face West Ham this week, although that could depend on a couple of factors.
Lisandro Martinez’s return could prompt a defensive reshuffle, while Harry Maguire is also hoping to return from injury.
