'Generational talent' - Man United scouts have raved about 18-year-old target Leny Yoro to Erik ten Hag and INEOS

The Red Devils are keen to bring a new defender to the club this summer and have already enquired about Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite. Another young talent on Man United's radar is 18-year-old Yoro, who has impressed in Ligue 1. According to Football Insider, scouts have already been to watch the sought-after talent and have reported incredibly positive feedback to manager Erik ten Hag and owners INEOS.

Out of all the targets on Man United's shortlist, Yoro is perhaps the most appealing. At 18, he is already operating at an incredibly high level and getting a deal over the line could set the club up defensively for the next decade at least.

Yoro made 32 appearances in the French top flight last season, scoring twice and keeping 15 clean sheets as Lille finished fourth. With his contract set to expire in 2025, he may be about to get the biggest move of his career.

Man United will continue to monitor the talented defender as they prepare to make a decision on their defensive reinforcements. The young star was present at the Champions League final and reports suggested he had a meeting with the club to discuss a potential move. With Real Madrid and Liverpool also interested, the Red Devils may have to act fast if they are to beat the others to his signature.
