Emergency Broadcast: Leny Yoro to Manchester United
One of SCOUTED's favourite centre-backs heads to Manchester

At one point earlier this year, we thought Leny Yoro might be one of the defining transfer sagas of the summer.
Well, it looks like Manchester United have moved quickly to squash the competition. Yoro is your new favourite centre-back - unless you don’t like United, in which case he’s about to become quite annoying.
As ever, our Scouting Editor Llew Davies has been watching Yoro with an eagle eye for the best part of two years, tracking his meteoric rise towards this colossal sale at the age of just 18.
We’ve got the lowdown, the strengths, the style and the weaknesses of the Premier League’s new teenage star. Lock in.
In this broadcast:
- Get up to speed on Leny Yoro — from a scout who’s watched him
- The perfect partner for Lisandro — ‘the yin to his yang’
- Is this a risk for Manchester United?
- How he’ll fit into Erik ten Hag’s last-gasp defence
If you’d prefer to dive straight into the deep end, Llew wrote thousands of words on Yoro earlier this year, using the kind of bespoke tracking data clubs do to prepare deals of this kind. Jump straight into the definitive profile:
