Manchester United will reportedly \u2018open the door\u2019 for Leny Yoro to leave the club as Real Madrid reignite their interest in the centre-back, who already has a \u2018verbal agreement\u2019 in place to leave Old Trafford for the Spanish giants.<\/p>\n
Yoro joined the Red Devils from Lille for \u00a352m in the summer of 2024 as Los Blancos backed away from their own negotiations with the young defender as they couldn\u2019t match the fee offered by the Premier League side.<\/p>\n
Reports suggested Yoro preferred a move to the Bernabeu at the time<\/a>, and he may now get his wish as a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes claims<\/a> his name \u2018once again sneaks into Real Madrid\u2019s sports planning\u2019.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Who will be Manchester United manager next season? Carrick at the wheel after stunning start<\/a><\/p>\n Madrid now believe that Yoro is \u2018a more mature player prepared to assume immediate responsibilities\u2019 after his time at Old Trafford, despite what many will have seen as an up and down spell at best in England.<\/p>\n Yoro has now made 56 appearances for United, but was in and out of the team under Ruben Amorim and now firmly out of it after Michael Carrick took the interim reins.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old has played just one minute of the Red Devils\u2019 three games under Carrick and doesn\u2019t look set to force his way back in anytime soon given they\u2019ve won all three of those games, against Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham.<\/p>\n Carrick\u2019s move to four at the back with just two centre-backs rather than the three deployed by Amorim will make game time far harder to come by for Yoro, who has watched Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire excel in those roles in the last three games.<\/p>\n The report claims that while United have not \u2018officially declared Yoro as transferable\u2019, they will \u2018open the door to an exit\u2019 if Madrid are willing to make a bid of around \u20ac70m [\u00a361m], in what would be a remarkable profit-making coup for the Premier League giants.<\/p>\n Madrid may not need to pay that much as a report just after Yoro signed for United claimed they came to a \u2018verbal agreement\u2019 with the Red Devils that the defender could leave the club within two years for the Spanish club.<\/p>\n The report stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u2018Real Madrid has reached, not officially, but through some intermediaries, that Leny Yoro has a verbal agreement with Manchester United, something that is not signed, but consensual in word of mouth, for which the French player will be able to sign for the merengue team within two seasons.<\/p>\n \u2018This possibility could be realized if the white club is interested in him again and the soccer player is not happy in Manchester, as long as a price similar to the one the English have paid now, about 50-55 million euros is paid.\u2019<\/p>\n It\u2019s thought such a sale would be welcomed by Untied as it \u2018would make it possible to balance accounts and reorder a squad that is still in the process of being rebuilt\u2019, with the report adding that Yoro himself \u2018would not look against a change of scenery if the sports proposal is convincing\u2019.<\/p>\n Maguire\u2019s future remains up in the air as his contract is up at the end of the season, meaning Yoro may just need to be patient to force his way into the United team, but Matthijs de Ligt will provide further competition when he returns to fitness, as will fellow young defender Ayden Heaven, who\u2019s impressed when called upon this season.<\/p>\n Carrick added former centre-backs Jonny Evans and Jonathan Woodgate to his coaching staff when he took on his interim role, and Maguire believes they will both be offer invaluable guidance to the young defenders in the United squad.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was a fantastic player. Coaching [here], he\u2019s come in and been refreshing. He brings great energy to the group, to the sessions\u201d, Maguire admitted about Woodgate.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, he\u2019s been a centre-back himself, and he\u2019s giving me tips, and he\u2019s definitely going to work a lot with the younger centre-backs, with Leny [Yoro], Ayden [Heaven], and Tyler [Fredricson].<\/p>\n \u201cBut, of course, even senior players like myself and Licha [Lisandro Martinez], we can learn from him. He\u2019s brought great ideas, and I\u2019ve been really impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE MANCHESTER UNITED COVERAGE ON F365 On Evans, Maguire added:\u00a0\u201cJonny is great to have around. The way that he handles himself and the responsibility that he took on his shoulders when he was a player, he can take that on to coaching as well.<\/p>\n \u201cJust little things like in the session the other day, I was finished and was walking in and could see that Jonny was doing extra work with Leny and Ayden. Things like that, as a young boy coming through and playing on the biggest stage, sometimes you have to learn and adapt on the pitch and on the stage, but you also can\u2019t forget that you need to improve and you need to work.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are young, talented centre-backs and to have Jonathan Woodgate and Jonny Evans coaching them now and giving them little tips, it\u2019s fantastic for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United will reportedly \u2018open the door\u2019 for Leny Yoro to leave the club as Real Madrid reignite…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,448,3937,349,50,1705,101,56,1955,54,55],"class_list":["post-411411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-front-page","tag-leny-yoro","tag-manchester-united","tag-news","tag-real-madrid","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-uncategorized","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
