Man United's bid for Leny Yoro has been accepted by Lille but they face competition from Real Madrid to sign the player.
Leny Yoro has called out a fake account on social media that was impersonating him and tweeted: "I don't want you Manchester United. Leave me alone."
On paper, a choice between United and Madrid is a no-brainer. The former finished eighth in the Premier League last season and the latter are European champions again.ALSO READ: United cannot afford to ignore problem position Back then, Varane was regarded as one of the most promising young French defenders and Yoro has that status in 2024. It wouldn't be a surprise if Madrid use Varane as an example in talks with Yoro because the pair have similar backgrounds and he is proof of what is possible to achieve.
United hadn't won a trophy for six years until the appointment of Erik ten Hag and although the Dutchman has won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in two seasons, the chances of winning the Premier League title are as slim now as they were when he first arrived from Ajax. The defensive upheaval is ongoing at United after Varane's departure on a free transfer and the 'release' of Jonny Evans, who remains in talks over another short-term contract.
