Most English players need to be eased in slowly and protected from the media but this lad just comes in, starts the next day, gives a mature, classy performance like he's been here for years and interviews flawlessly.
Leny Yoro | Out for 3 months with a metatarsal injury
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
He called up Rio to discuss whether he should do the transfer. Good stuff!
Didn't have much to do in his first game defensively, so can't really judge that side of his game to much. But the passing and calmness in possession definitely looks promising. Never seemed to panic and took everything in his stride
Yes but all of that still applies to him, the first dip in form and how we protect him will be crucial. Knives will be out and he won't be molly coddled that's for sure. I recall the targeting of Martial about his fees and other off field antics which destabilised him.
I really hope we don't overplay him, he gets counseling and support and in the first season he gets time to bed in with the team, and more importantly the cultural aspects of being an United player. If we get this right (and barring bad luck) we're looking at a mainstay for the next decade.
There's something in the water there surely. I'm not saying its Aliens, but its Aliens.
''hyperbole'' ? here on RedCafe? Heaven Forfend
Gotta love the arrogance
Been delicious seeing their reactions and the contrasts in tone and narratives before we came into the picture for him and afterwards

Don't relax just yet. For all we know they'll sign him next year.
It's very rare to see a 18 years old play 45 mins at preseason friendly and have the feeling that he is something special.
The last same feeling was Ronaldo debut.

Is that Mainoo's debut?
I think he got a run-out in the League Cup before that and maybe appeared in one or two other friendlies, but I think that friendly against Arsenal was the first time he really showed what he could do at senior level.

Martial's debut
Oh... I totally forgotten about that one. Yeah, it was brilliant against Liverpool. But he was very raw. Yoro feel matured beyond his years and quite sure about his enormous potential.
Bless Agent Rio
I think fans can sometimes overrate the pull of the CL and underrate the pull of the PL.
The PL is equally a major attraction.

So far, his comments have been so mature, so calm, it beggars belief. Super excited for and with him.
Give Angel his flowers.
Always like Angel Gomes too!
Ah man. I'm loving this kid.
The quote with Angel just show how important it is to treat leaving players right.
Reminds me a bit of AWB with his sliding tackles with his long legs.
Excellent point
Loving agents Rio and Angel
It shows how infectious winning trophies is and the sort of eyes that are watching. Did anyone ever say the same about 'top 4'.
@TheReligion you know what to do.
Leroy Yolo is going to be some player for us!
He’s still ill. Clearly.
Because we’ll have no say in that of course.
