Encyclopedic overview
Leny Jean-Luc Yoro (born 13 November 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Manchester United and the France under-21 national team.
A Lille academy graduate, Yoro joined the club as a child and then became one of the youngest first-team players when he made his professional Ligue 1 debut in May 2022, at the age of 16 years, six months and one day. After a first senior season in which he was mainly used as a substitute, he became one of Lille's cornerstones as a teenager in his second full season and made his European debut in August 2023. He was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year in the 2023–24 season. In July 2024, he signed for Manchester United for a reported fee of €62 million (£52.2 million), making him the most expensive player aged 18 or younger and one of the most expensive centre-backs in history.
