| Leny Olivier Yoro (born 13 November 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Manchester United. He is widely considered one of the best prospects and young centre-backs in the world.
A Lille academy graduate, Yoro joined the club as a child and then became one of the youngest first-team players when he made his professional Ligue 1 debut in May 2022, at the age of 16 years, 6 months and 1 day. After a first senior season in which he was mainly used as a substitute, he became one of Lille's cornerstones as a teenager in his second full season and made his European debut in August 2023. In 2024, he signed for Manchester United for a fee of €62 million (£52.2 million), making him the most expensive player aged 18 or younger and one of the most expensive centre-backs in history.
Yoro represented France at under-17, under-18, under-19, under-21 and under-23 levels. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
