Leny Yoro

Leny Yoro, born on November 13, 2005, is a rising star in the world of football, currently playing as a centre-back for Manchester United in the Premier League and representing the France under-21 national team.

A product of the Lille academy, Yoro joined the club as a child and made headlines when he debuted in Ligue 1 in May 2022 at the tender age of sixteen years, six months, and one day. His initial season saw him primarily in a substitute role, but he quickly established himself as a key player for Lille in his second full season, showcasing his talent on the European stage with his debut in August 2023.

Yoro's impressive performances did not go unnoticed, as he was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year for the 2023–24 season. His career took a significant leap in July 2024 when he signed with Manchester United for a reported fee of sixty-two million euros, making him the most expensive player aged eighteen or younger and one of the priciest centre-backs in football history.

Throughout his burgeoning career, Yoro has represented France at various youth levels, including under-17, under-18, under-19, under-21, and under-23, further solidifying his status as one of the most promising talents in the sport.
