Leny Yoro is flying to UK for medical at Man United

Lille defender Leny Yoro is scheduled to fly to the United Kingdom for a medical with Manchester United to complete a deal to move to Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag and his recruitment team have made it a top priority to bring in another center-back during the summer transfer window, since both young defender Willy Kambwala and veteran Raphael Varane have left the club this summer.

The Red Devils have already completed the signing of striker Joshua Zirkzee this summer to address their goal scoring woes and now they are determined to sign the highly rated centre-back.

According to the reliable David Ornstein of The Athletic, Yoro is flying to UK for a medical examination.

Ornstein mentioned that the defender favoured a move to Real Madrid but with Lille accepting Man United’s offer, the transfer is now getting closer to completing.
