At first I came to Man united I was a little bit confused because this was not my dream club but He sat me down and talk to me like a brother now I’m Happy to be here and to call this my Home”, Manchester United new signing Leny Yoro name the only ONE player that made Him settle down at Old Trafford

I was a little perplexed when I initially arrived to Manchester United because this was not my ideal team, but once he sat me down and spoke to me like a brother, I’m happy to be here and call this my home. Leny Yoro identified the ONE player at Old Trafford who helped him settle in.

Leny Yoro has disclosed that Angel Gomes, a former Manchester United player, assisted in persuading him to transfer to Old Trafford.

After agreeing to a £52 million deal with Lille, United announced last week that the 18-year-old wonder had signed. Although it was largely anticipated that the young French player would sign with Real Madrid this summer, United moved quickly to get one of the game’s most highly-regarded prospects. Yoro made his debut for the team this past weekend in a preseason friendly against Rangers.

Rio Ferdinand, a legend at United, helped bring Yoro to Manchester; the newcomer revealed that in the days preceding the transfer, the former England player had a conversation with him about the club’s past.

After making his debut for Lille at the age of 16, Yoro played with English midfielder Gomes for two seasons.

Gomes, who made his senior debut in 2017 and became the club’s youngest player to represent the team since the legendary Duncan Edwards, was previously seen to be one of United’s finest young prospects.

However, Gomes departed United in 2020 after finding it difficult to get into the first squad, moving on to Lille, where he has become a vital part of the starting lineup.

Yoro described how Gomes made it very evident that he was joining “the biggest club in the world” by accepting a transfer to United in his first in-depth interview with club media.

We talked about United a lot, Yoro remarked. This is the largest club in the world, he just told me. The supporters, the playing pitch, the training camp—everything is enormous and very amazing.

So, yes, I talked to him about this every day, and coming here really helped. He’s ecstatic for me. Immediately following the completion of the transfer, he texted me.

Speaking earlier this year, Gomes gave insightful commentary on Yoro’s ascent, emphasising that the main quality that sets him apart from other young players is his temperament.

“I knew what it was like to be around first-team players when I was a 16-year-old at Manchester United.” However, [Yoro] is temperamentally different.

“His temperament isn’t typical or comparable to that of a 16- or 17-year-old entering the room.”

‘The way he trained, the way he carried himself, it’s almost like he’s a senior pro. It was simple to understand that things could only get better for him.
