Manchester United’s new signing Leny Yoro is poised to make his highly anticipated debut against Rangers later today.
The 18-year-old completed his sensational switch to Old Trafford from LOSC Lille in a deal worth £52 million.
United named Yoro in their 26-man squad for pre-season friendly against Rangers.
His arrival at Old Trafford has generated considerable excitement among fans and pundits alike.
He is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain also wanted to sign Yoro this summer.
The young sensation wanted to move to Madrid earlier but could not turn down the ambitious project INEOS put in front of him.
Today’s friendly clash could offer a glimpse of what Yoro might bring to the team.
It will also be an opportunity for the starlet to get a taste of working under Erik ten Hag.
The anticipation surrounding Yoro’s debut is palpable, but other players are also in the limelight.
Jadon Sancho is part of the travelling squad. Sancho was ousted from the first team after publicly calling the United manager a liar.
He was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund for the second half of last season, with Ten Hag not ready to integrate him into the squad.
The duo have drawn a line under the matter and moved past that incident now.
Today’s game will allow Amad Diallo to prove his credentials without Antony, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho in the squad.
