Leny Yoro unveils major reasons for joining Man United this summer

Man United have announced the signing of Leny Yoro from Lille as part of a €62m deal and the French defender has unveiled the reasons why he chose to move to Manchester. 

The 18-year-old has penned a five-year contract at Old Trafford until June 2029, with the option to extend for a further year.

The centre-back was the subject of one of the most interesting transfer sagas this summer as Real Madrid and Man United, amongst others, battled for the highly-rated talent.

Following the announcement of the transfer, Yoro has unveiled the reasons why he chose to join Man United this summer and it shows that the defender has thought about his next move.
