Leny Yoro says he has “no regrets” about sealing “dream” move to Manchester United | OneFootball

Leny Yoro has revealed that he has “no regrets” about making a summer move to Manchester United.

United warded off significant competition from the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain to land Yoro from Lille.

The Red Devils forked out around £52million plus add-ons to secure the signature of one of Europe’s best defensive prospects.

Yoro’s start to life at Old Trafford was hampered by a foot injury he sustained in pre-season against Arsenal. The issue caused him to miss 21 games of the season while he underwent recovery.

The Frenchman finally made his long-awaited return to action during United’s 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the start of December, when he came on as a second-half substitute. Yoro has since started two games and was on the pitch for 45 minutes against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Speaking to Téléfoot in France, Yoro revealed that he doesn’t regret joining United despite his injury and the team’s struggles on the pitch.

He said, “No regrets about joining Manchester United.”

Le10 Sport further quote the 19-year-old stating, “In my head, I’d set my sights on playing abroad because that’s something I’ve always been attracted to, especially the Premier League.”

“It’s every footballer’s dream.”

Yoro explained that he talked to Raphael Varane, who left United in the summer after a three-year stint.

“I spoke to Varane, who gave me a lot of advice, whether in sport, in life or in this choice.”

“And he had a lot to say.”

Yoro and his teammates return to action on Boxing Day when they make their way to Molineux Stadium to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.
