Yoro also mentioned former United man Rio Ferdinand in the interview, he said: “It was like two weeks ago [when I first spoke to Rio],” Leny explained.

“First of all, I was really impressed to speak with him and, yeah, we spoke like 10 minutes about Man United, so he helped me a lot to make my choice. It was really an honour to speak with him.”

The 18-year-old continued: “He spoke to me about the club, and that this is a historic club with a big story, and if I go there I need to fight for the club, to be ready, because this is the biggest club in the world. For me, it was really good to speak about this.”
