According to a source, the £59 million star “regrets” picking Manchester United over Real Madrid as a “serious mistake.”

 

According to a Spanish source, Manchester United defender Leny Yoro is regretting not signing with Real Madrid. The midfielder explains why he passed up the opportunity to join Los Blancos and work with Ruben Amorim. Two of the biggest teams in the world, Real Madrid and Manchester United, are constantly searching for top players. Both Los Blancos and the Red Devils prioritise acquiring acquisitions that will strengthen their teams right away, but they also have their sights set on young players they can nurture into future international heroes.One such celebrity is Yoro. The 19-year-old central defender made a name for himself in the French team’s first squad by graduating from Lille’s junior academy. In the summer of 2024, Manchester United paid up to £58.9 million (with add-ons) to acquire Yoro from Lille. Although there were some encouraging signs in the closing months of the season, the Frenchman’s first season with the Red Devils was rather lacklustre due to injuries that hindered his development under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim.
