Leny Yoro’s (18) entourage are pushing the highly-rated French centre-back to join Manchester United, according to a report this Tuesday from Foot Mercato. The Premier League club has reportedly submitted a €60m bid to Lille for the signing of their prized asset. However, Leny Yoro was so far uninterested in a move to the Red Devils as he sets his sights on joining Champions League serial winners Real Madrid. However, Los Blancos haven’t shown any intention to match Manchester United’s valuation of the player. The La Liga champions are yet to up their €20m bid.

The outlet understands that Lille have accepted Manchester United’s €60m bid for Leny Yoro and that the latter’s entourage are pushing for him to join the Red Devils. The Lille-born’s inner circle understands it will be easier to earn playing time with Erik Ten Hag’s squad rather than with Carlo Ancelotti’s. Contract talks are said to be underway between Manchester United and Leny Yoro’s agent, Jorge Mendes.
