Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, described Leny Yoro, the team’s newest addition, as a “huge talent.”
Ten Hag made this statement while complimenting the 18-year-old for demonstrating great promise in his first Man United training session.
Yoro recently finished moving from Lille to the Red Devils on Thursday.
Real Madrid, the La Liga winners, expressed interest in signing him to a deal at Old Trafford, but he declined.
In Man United’s preseason friendly victory over Rangers on Saturday, Yoro was given the starting nod.
Ten Hag told MUTV that he was pleased to see Yoro play in his first match for Man United “I think that is the right word—very exciting, for him and for us.
“We are so pleased we signed him. He’s a huge talent, and we are really looking forward to working with him, to build him.
“You could see he’s a player straight on the pitch yesterday in the training drills, so comfortable. We are really excited about him.”
