Yahoo Sports £52m Man Utd new signing in line to make his much-anticipated debut to today
Manchester United’s new signing Leny Yoro is poised to make his highly anticipated debut against Rangers later today.
The 18-year-old completed his sensational switch to Old Trafford from LOSC Lille in a deal worth £52 million.
United named Yoro in their 26-man squad for pre-season friendly against Rangers.
His arrival at Old Trafford has generated considerable excitement among fans and pundits alike.
He has been widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain also wanted to sign Yoro this summer.
The young sensation wanted to move to Madrid earlier but could not turn down the ambitious project INEOS put in front of him.
His signature is what many see as a statement of intent from the Red Devils under the new ownership of INEOS.
Today’s friendly clash could offer a glimpse of what Yoro might bring to the team.
It will also be an opportunity for the starlet to get a taste of working under Erik ten Hag.
The anticipation surrounding Yoro’s debut is palpable, but other players are also in the limelight.
Jadon Sancho is also part of the travelling squad. Sancho was ousted from the first team after publicly calling the United head coach a liar.
He was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund for the second half of the previous campaign with Ten Hag not ready to integrate him into the squad.
The duo have drawn a line and moved past that incident now.
Today’s game will offer Amad Diallo a chance to prove his credentials in the absence of Antony, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho.
Antony, Victor Lindelof and Rashford will miss this clash with minor niggles. Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are also absent from the squad list.
