Man Utd 1:1 Fulham New
Not been mentioned yet but I thought that was another good showing from Yoro. Looked resolute and fairly good on the ball when he was on the pitch. Promising stuff given his age.
 
Was a decent performance, he's never really been a worry as he plays with maturity. This inside the progression of two seasons he'll be outstanding.
 
He has strung together a few very good performances in his last few appearances. He’s fast, good on the ball and can play a pass, looks very promising.
 
Still early, but looks like a great signing.
 
He must be hating that he came here. If he’d stayed another year in France he’d be at Madrid.
 
Thought this was one of his best games and good to see he starts to more and ore push forward with the ball. The only negative was the goal, where I thought he left his position for unknown reason. It opened up a big area behind him where the goal scorer came running.
 
Real Sociedad 1:1 Man Utd New
Think he's a had a pretty good start to his United career. A couple of bad games against Forest and Southampton, can't remember many other poor performances though. Solid again tonight.
 
I thought, he did quite well tonight. Think he finds his feet more and more and builds his confidence. I am still unsure what kind of player he is going to be but for the time being, I am happy with performances like that.
 
It’s hard to remember that he’s so young when he plays like an assured 28 year old centre half.

He’s a real diamond and hopefully he stays with us in the future.
 
Excellent young talent. I wonder what must be going through his head being a part of our mess when he could have been at Real Madrid.
 
He started limping badly after a challenge just before Bruno scored. He broke a metatarsal pre-season, fingers crossed it’s not a reoccurrence.
 
I'm growing to really like him. Just have to hope that we are in a position where we can develop him even further and enable him to fulfil his potential.

If it's another serious injury then you have to frustrated. Amorim easing him into team, player getting and more comfortable with time and then another setback would terrible. Let's wait and hope it's nothing serious.
 
He finished the half, so hopefully it's not too bad.

He's beginning to look like the extremely talented young defender we were told we were signing.
 
Starting to look more and more assured, the best we can get out of the league now is to give the young players minutes while managing them sensibly.
 
Really starting to settle in and getting more and more minutes. He’s so young, but you can see he’s going to be a top class, if not world class, defender one day. And probably quite soon.

A signing for the future but one we will come to look back on as a real stroke of forethought and genius. Exactly the profile of player we should continue to add. Huge potential, young, undoubted quality already, but a huge ceiling for improvement. Dorgu, Amad, Garnacho, Mainoo, Heaven, and potentially Obi are all of a similar profile, at different stages of development. And can form the basis of a really excellent team one day.

I could easily see us with a back three of Yoro, De Ligt and Heaven, as first choice next season. Bags of pace, and dribbling ability in the two youngsters, which is rare for CBs. All three very accomplished with the ball at their feet, and in De Ligt and Yoro, two players who are natural defenders. De Ligt has that old school, durable, physical, no nonsense and brave type vibe that I think is essential to a great back line, and Yoro has natural anticipation, elegance and instincts. He gives me vibes of a young Rio in some ways.

No pressure then!

Has he played a full 90 mins in the league yet?

Talent and skill is great, but he seems to pick up a knock every game
 
Hopefully not a serious injury. One thing I've noticed is he's a lot more comfortable on the ball than the majority of our other CB's. I noticed on numerous occasions he was playing a pass first time round the corner to Dalot rather than taking a touch/thousand touches like Maguire/Lindelof do. It's that split second that makes a difference.

Comfortable and also brave at bringing the ball out from the back. Doesn't mind progressing into the opponents half.

Three times in the league. Once in the FA cup, once in the Carabao, zero times in Europa (though 88 mins vs Rangers).

21 matches, 1109 minutes total. He’s averaging about 52 minutes per match he features in.
 
His development is coming along nicely. Probably getting more minutes than originally planned due to the switch to a back 3 and Martinez injury.

Hopefully not a serious injury today. I hope he doesn't become yet another one of our injury prone players!
