Manchester United fans have been reacting to new signing Leny Yoro’s latest comment about joining the club.
Last week, it was confirmed that 18-year-old French defender Yoro had completed a move to United from Ligue 1 side Lille.
A club statement read: “Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Leny Yoro has joined the club, subject to registration. The French defender has signed a contract until June 2029, with the option to extend for a further year.
“At the age of just 18, Yoro has already played 60 first-team games for Lille OSC. Last season, he was named in the Ligue 1 team of the season having helped his club finish fourth in the league.”
Yoro impressed during his debut last weekend during the Red Devils’ 2-0 win over Rangers at Murrayfield.
Speaking in a recent interview with the club, Yoro said: “When I saw them win the FA Cup, I really wanted to be there!”
Reacting to Yoro’s comment, one United fan said on social media: “Am I the only one that believes that this Leny Yoro guy has been lying throughout his interview.”
Another tweeted: “Bro capping but we’ll believe it.”
A third fan added: “He’s been watching Kobbie’s goal on repeat like the rest of us.”
Someone else wrote: “At this point he gotta be reading all of this answers from a book handed to him by man United media.”
A fifth commented: “Nahhh not only is he good at defending but also good at lying.”
Another fan said: “Yoro I love u but stop the cap.”
Yoro also mentioned former United man Rio Ferdinand in the interview, he said: “It was like two weeks ago [when I first spoke to Rio],” Leny explained.
“First of all, I was really impressed to speak with him and, yeah, we spoke like 10 minutes about Man United, so he helped me a lot to make my choice. It was really an honour to speak with him.”
The 18-year-old continued: “He spoke to me about the club, and that this is a historic club with a big story, and if I go there I need to fight for the club, to be ready, because this is the biggest club in the world. For me, it was really good to speak about this.”
