Ligue 1 star ‘Flying to Manchester’ for Man United Medical and to finalize Personal terms

Manchester United are closing in on signing Lille defender Leny Yoro.
Personal terms are to be agreed as United keep pushing.

David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that Manchester United is getting close to signing Lille defender Leny Yoro, who is currently traveling to England to do a physical.

Erik ten Hag and his recruitment team have made it a top goal to bring in another center-back during the summer transfer window.

Due to his contract expiring, Raphael Varane left the team earlier this year, while promising defender Willy Kambwala left to play for Villarreal.

With Joshua Zirkzee being the first confirmed addition, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have been active in the transfer window thus far, pursuing various transactions.

The focus swiftly shifted to obtaining a center-back’s signature, and they are now on the verge of doing so.

Reporting on Wednesday morning, Ornstein has confirmed that Yoro will now fly to England to complete a medical ahead of a move to Manchester United.

Despite interest from Real Madrid, United appear to be close to winning the race to secure his signature.

The supporters at Old Trafford will be hoping that when the Red Devils have Yoro in England, they are able to convince him to sign on the dotted line.

Ornstein confirmed that initially, Yoro favoured a move to Real Madrid, but United’s persistence appears to have paid off.

With a deal now close, it will be interesting to see whether the Red Devils look to target another centre-back in the summer transfer window
