Like his Manchester United team, Leny Yoro completely sank on Sunday on the side of Newcastle. Laminated by the Magpies (4-1, 32nd day of the Premier League), the Red Devils suffered the wrath of many observers. Among them, Thierry Henry did not hesitate to point the finger at the former defender of Lille. But the way he did it and the words he chose did not like it at all.
Consultant for Sky Sports in the show Monday Night Footballthe former Arsenal attacked Leny Yoro. And he made fun of the Mancunian reaction after one of the goals scored by Harvey Barnes. Yoro then turned to the touch referee to see if there was not a reported offside. “Leny Yoro does not come back to defend. (…) This barnes goal should never happen. Let's focus on Yoro. I don't know why … I don't know what he looks at. Are you looking at the touch referee to see if he will save you? I don't know. »»
And Thierry Henry to continue by mimicking the player:
“I don't know if he thought there was not offside. We all know that it is a goal. What are you looking at? I don't know. I have never seen that. »» Colleague of the 1998 world champion on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher posted a somewhat mocking message on X. He deleted it. The sequence first put online by Sky Sports on its social networks has, again, has been deleted. But she has caused many reactions.

An image stop just to make a poor joke to the detriment of a young defender. »»
And the English media to find another comment from an landed user: “It is simply pathetic on the part of the concerned. A year ago, Henry said what Yoro was doing was 'extraordinary' and now he clashes it for nothing. Consultants are pitiful these days. »»
