Manchester United beat out clubs like Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid for former LOSC Lille defender Leny Yoro. The Red Devils reportedly paid €62 million plus €8 million for the teenager, but he already picked up an injury during the club’s preseason tour in the United States.
According to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are worried that their new signing, Yoro, might be out for up to two months due to a fractured metatarsal.
New information from L’Equipe’s Loïc Tanzi reveals that the Parisians were aware of Yoro’s health concerns. According to a French media outlet, Yoro’s recent injury, which may involve a fractured metatarsal and could sideline him for months, has drawn attention.
PSG has stated that they were aware of Yoro’s physical vulnerabilities, which is why they chose not to match or come close to the amount Manchester United paid for him.
There’s no denying that Yoro has the talent to be a quality center-back but this information does spotlight why the capital club didn’t go all out for the defender this summer.
