A few days after the official announcement of his transfer to Manchester United and the day after his big debut with the Red Devils in a friendly match against Rangers, Leny Yoro gave an interview to the official website of the English club: “For me it’s the biggest league in the world. The Premier League is where football really exists. The fans, the level because the level is crazy here, it’s not an easy style of play and for all that the Premier League is the biggest league in the world. It’s a historic milestone and I’m really excited to play at Old Trafford to be honest. Manchester United is the biggest club in the world. For me it was a dream to play for this club. I spoke with ten Hag. He wants players who really want to win. When he puts me on the pitch I’m ready to die for this club.”” he said.
Leny Yoro played 45 minutes against Rangers as Erik ten Hag’s side recorded a first win of the 2024/25 pre-season, beating the Glasgow club 2-0: “It’s incredible. When I saw them win the FA Cup, I really wanted to be there. I was already imagining myself on the pitch. I was with my family there, and they were impressed too. So, yes, we took a lot of pictures. It’s one of the greatest stadiums in the world. To be honest, I’m really happy to be here, to play for this team and I’m really excited to play at Old Trafford.” In any case, the French defender seems more fulfilled than ever on Manchester soil.
