Untouchable? There is no United player that is untouchable at this time.

But I do like what I see of Yoro so far. That tackle was for the ages.

Why not? We’re not going to get a comparable talent to come here at the moment, so it’s hardly makes zero sense to sell him or someone like Mainoo.

 

[harms]

Agreed. When was the last time a 19 year old was this good so early. Varane perhaps ?

Varane was even better but then I don’t think I’ve seen a center back as complete at 18-19 as Varane… ever? He was like a CB version of Maldini at that age, a finished article with no considerable weaknesses.

He didn’t quite live up to the initial expectations even though he still ended up as an amazing player. But teenage Varane was something else entirely — better than Rio & Yoro.

He must be better than Saliba was at the same age. Surely if Saliba then was at the level of current Yoro, he'd have walked into the Arsenal side that was midtable a few years back and not been out on loan for years?

Saw some graphs earlier this summer which suggested that they were of similar level, Saliba maybe slightly better. Sure it would be in the transfer forum as well.

Great tallent, need to be managed properly especially after coming back from injury.

I think Ruben is managing Yoro's minutes reasonably well, not sure about Mount's though. I would have thought he would undergo similar playtime management before the latest injury.

 

[DJ_21]

That’s an absolutely world class challenge. Timed perfectly and his tracking back was superb

 

[Rossa]

He really is a bit like Rio mk2

Need to see more of him. None of his, slbeit limited, showings have shown attributes that similar to Rio, tbf. Rio seemed faster and more athletic, but that run prior to the tackle was impressive.

 

[Marwood]

Didn't realise he'd chased back that far.

Awesome bit of play.

 

[united for life]

He’ll forever be remembered for that tackle.

He’ll forever be remembered for that tackle.

I’ve watched that tackle a lot today, and it gets better every time I watch it. Darwin’s face

Priceless

 

[Blood Mage]

People don't realise how rare it is for centre-halves to really stand out at 19. He's going to be a great player.

I just hope there are no more serious injuries ahead for him.

 

[lex talionis]

Immense performance.

 

[Plant0x84]

The pace of that recovery run is incredible. Almost as impressive as the tackle, and arguably more important!

Yeah that and I hope he isn’t scared off to a Real or a Bayern by our shitness.

 

[bgoodall]

Had no idea he was that fast! What a player.

 

[Blood Mage]

Had no idea he was that fast! What a player.

I think he's been taking it easy since his injury. He was very fast at Lille last season.

 

[Escobar]

Need to see more of him. None of his, slbeit limited, showings have shown attributes that similar to Rio, tbf. Rio seemed faster and more athletic, but that run prior to the tackle was impressive.

He is like 18 or 19. But his playing style, elegance and passing reminds me of Rio

 

[Harry190]

Special talent. Real Madrid knows how to scout them.

 

[Rossa]

Hopefully - Rio is perhaps my all time favourite centre back, so if he can reach those levels, we are in for a treat!

 

[Jacob]

He's class, I hope we don't ruin him like all other decent players coming here.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Have to admit, I was ripping my hair out when he came on as I felt unsettling the back 3 at that point was very risky, but that sprint and challenge on Nunez was special.

He had that stat a few weeks ago where we seemed to concede every time he came on, but clearly it was just a coincidence and I expect we’ll see him in the line up more often with De Ligt and Maguire rotated in the central role, and Maguire and Martinez rotated in the left-sided role (hopefully rarely).

 

[Grande]

Hopefully - Rio is perhaps my all time favourite centre back, so if he can reach those levels, we are in for a treat!

I think we should remember also that Rio played at West Ham Utd for three more years before he went to Leeds Utd, and only came to Man Utd shortly before his 24th birthday. If he can reach Rio’s level in five to ten years time, hopefully the treat’s ours to enjoy, but fir the moment he is a promising investment more than a great defender.

I like his style, though.
