THE LARGER IMAGE
If Manchester United can close this deal with Madrid looming in the background, it will be a significant accomplishment. Erik ten Hag was content to match the French club’s asking price with a £52 million (€61.9 million/$67.8 million) deal. Lille pushed Yoro in the direction of United since Los Blancos were unwilling to go as high as that.
WERE YOU AWARENESS?
Last season, Yoro made 32 appearances in Ligue 1, scoring two goals to help Lille finish in fourth place. European powerhouses like Manchester United and Real Madrid may be very interested in the young star because of his maturity above his years of age.

YORO’S NEXT STEPS?
Although everything is going well for the player and the club, according to The Athletic, there is still work to be done before Yoro signs a contract. It appears the 18-year-old will be playing at Old Trafford for the 2024–25 season unless Madrid makes a late bid.
