  • Leny Yoro comparison

    Here's how Manchester United signing Leny Yoro compares to the club's defenders from last season:

  • Ashworth on Leny Yoro

    Manchester United’s new sporting director Dan Ashworth says the club have landed one of the "most exciting young defenders in world football" after signing Lenny Yoro from Lille.

    Leny is one of the most exciting young defenders in world football; he possesses every attribute needed to develop into a top-class centre-back.

    Having had such an excellent start to his career we are excited to support him in reaching his immense potential here at Manchester United.

    This club has a fantastic record of developing young players, whether homegrown or brought in from elsewhere, and giving them the required guidance, time and patience to grow and flourish.

    Under Erik ten Hag and our excellent staff we will ensure that Leny has the perfect platform to achieve the success that everyone across the club is aiming for.

  • Greenwood officially joins Marseille

    Manchester United released a short 57-word statement confirming Mason Greenwood’s transfer to Marseille.

    Greenwood has penned a contract until 2029 in a deal that could be worth over £30million.

    The controversial forward will cost L’OM an initial £27m plus £3.2m in add-ons.

    United also have a 50 per cent sell-on clause included in the package.

    Mason Greenwood has left Manchester United and joined French club Olympique de Marseille on a permanent transfer.

    The 22 year-old English forward, who spent last season on loan at Getafe in Spain, made 129 appearances and scored 35 goals for United since making his debut in 2019.

    We wish Mason all the best in his future career.

  • Leny Yoro statement

    Leny Yoro stated it is an "incredible honour" to be joining Manchester United at the tender age of 18.

    Signing for a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is an incredible honour.

    Since my first conversations with the club, they set out a clear plan for how I can develop in Manchester as part of this exciting project, and showed a lot of care for me and my family.

    I know about the history of young players at Manchester United and feel it can be the perfect place to reach my potential and achieve my ambitions, together with my new teammates. I cannot wait to get started.

  • Scott McTominay bidding war

    Manchester United want at least £40million from Scott McTominay’s suitors.

    SunSport can reveal Tottenham are now rivalling Fulham for McTominay’s signature.

    Sources close to United claim manager Erik Ten Hag is keen to keep the midfielder.

    But the Scotland international is not regarded as a first-team starter, which may lead to him moving on to make the next step in his career.

    There’s interest from overseas, with Galatasaray confirming they are keen on landing the 27-year-old.

  • Ivan Toney price cut

    Brentford are ready to slash their asking price for Ivan Toney to less than £50million due to a lack of transfer interest.

    Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all made it clear to the Bees that they have no plans to bid for Toney.

    That leaves Tottenham and West Ham as the striker's most likely suitors.

    Brentford had hoped to create an auction for the England international after he returned from an eight-month gambling ban in January and initially invited bids in excess of £80m.

    But there were no offers for the 28-year-old during the winter transfer window and the club have been surprised at the lack interest this summer.

    The Gunners are not prioritising signing a centre-forward this summer, the Blues think Toney is too old and United have splashed £36.5m for Joshua Zirkzee.

  • What about De Ligt?

    Manchester United have just signed Leny Yoro from Lille.

    That means United boss Erik ten Hag just got a new centre-back to strengthen his backline.

    The Red Devils had also been linked with other defenders like Bayern Munich star Matthijs de Ligt and Everton ace Jarrrad Branthwaite.

    Reports suggest that the Manchester giants could go for another centre-back, but money will play a massive role.

  • Mason Greenwood to Marseille

    Mason Greenwood has joined Marseille from Manchester United.

    According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, United and L'OM finally reached a deal.

    The French giants booked a private plane for Greenwood who landed in Marseille to undergo medical tests and sign.

    The controversial forward received a warm reception from a group of fans.

    The ex-England international will sign a deal until June 2029 and the Red Devils will receive a package worth €30million (£25m) plus a 50 per cent sell-on clause.

  • Leny Yoro Official

    Leny Yoro has officially joined Manchester United and signed a five-year deal

    United and Lille have reached a deal and are about to exchange all relevant documents.

    The centre-back passed his medical earlier today and is expected to join Erik ten Hag's pre-season squad.

    Ten Hag is in need of a top defender to replace Raphael Varane and the France Under-21 international appears to be the answer.

  • Spur of the moment

    Man Utd want at least £40million before they even consider selling Scott McTominay.

    SunSport can reveal Tottenham are now tracking the Scottish international.

    Their London rivals Fulham have already had a bid turned down for the player.

    But further offers are expected for McTominay, 27, who may need to be sold by United to help balance the books — and support a planned summer spending spree.

  • Set the tone

    Brentford are ready to slash their asking price for Ivan Toney to less than £50million due to a lack of interest.

    Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all made it clear to Brentford that they have no plans to bid for in the England striker.

    That leaves Tottenham and West Ham as his most likely suitors.

    Brentford had hoped to create an auction for Toney after he returned from an eight-month gambling ban in January and initially invited bids in excess of £80m.

    But there were no offers Toney during the winter transfer window and the club have been surprised at the lack interest this summer.

    Arsenal are not prioritising signing a striker this summer, Chelsea think Toney is too old and United have signed £36.5m Holland striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.

  • Yor joking

    Leny Yoro’s impending arrival at Manchester United has posed questions over fellow centre-back Matthijs De Ligt’s expected arrival.

    Lille’s Yoro is poised to sign within 24 hours while a fee with Bayern Munich has yet to be agreed for De Ligt.

    And with United also said to be monitoring Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, the Dutchman’s transfer appears from certain.

    That’s also because Yoro’s move could take up a sizeable chunk of manager Erik ten Hag’s transfer budget – at around £52million in total.

  • United front

    Erik ten Hag has emphasised the need for more Manchester United arrivals — particularly with added games in the Europa League this season.

    He said: “We know, in depth, we need more players.

    "With the new format in Europe, you’ll have more games, more intense games, no winter break, a very condensed January.

    “You need squad depth. Then it’s more and more about survival of the fittest.”

  • Man Utd fixtures

    Here is the Red Devils’ FULL 2024/25 Prem fixtures list.

  • Ugarte to do it

    Manchester United could try to recruit PSG anchorman Manuel Ugarte on loan.

    The Red Devils were tipped to pursue another temporary move for last season’s loanee Sofyan Amrabat.

    But GIVEMESPORT reckon Uruguayan Ugarte is now once more a top alternative for what could be a key midfield role alongside Kobbie Mainoo.

  • Is he Leny good?

    Leny Yoro is awaiting to finalise a deal with Manchester United after Lille accepted a £52million offer for the defender.

    Fans may wonder how the France U23 star compares to the other Red Devil defenders Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

    Last season for the Ligue 1 side Yoro made 32 appearances for Lille and played a total of 2672 minutes.

    This is almost double the amount of minutes Evans, Lindelof and also Varane played.

    Yoro's closest competitor Maguire in game time does not even come close to the defender who during his 1650 minutes of play made 24 tackles, and 25 interceptions with an 83 per cent pass accuracy.

    In perspective, the teen made 36 tackles, and 36 interceptions with a 92 per cent pass accuracy.

  • Italian job

    Victor Osimhen is willing to force a move away from Napoli this summer, according to L’Equipe.

    The Italian club are uncompromising in negotiations with other clubs and the Nigerian striker is ready to refuse to train.

    PSG are in negotiations with Osimhen and Napoli and will also contact the club in due course.

  • Yo have no choice

    Lille "threatened" not to play Leny Yoro for a year if he snubbed the deal to sign with Manchester United, a report claims.

    The Red Devils are ready to close a stunning deal for the 18-year-old despite facing fierce competition from Real Madrid.

    The Ligue 1 side have accepted a £52million bid from the Red Devils to sign the defender, according to The Athletic.

    But Spanish outlet Marca has reported Lille "threatened" to drop the French sensation if he turned down the move to Old Trafford.

    And Yoro is now on his way to Carrington for a medical before striking personal terms on a lucrative contract.

    United have secured the youngster over Spanish giants Real Madrid who just two weeks ago only put in a bid of less than £30million for the star.

  • Ful of it

    Manchester United have rejected a bid from Fulham for Scott McTominay according to The Telegraph.

    The Cottagers offered £18million for the Scot.

    But United are understood to want £30m.

  • Pants rant

    Gary Neville hilariously revealed the blunder that left Roy Keane fuming while in Germany for Euro 2024.

    He said: "The funniest thing yesterday - someone tried to carry his [Roy's] clothes in from the car to the studio.

    "As they came up to him at the studio his pants slipped off the rail.

    "[Roy went] 'OH MY GOD! That's why I should fg carry my own rail. That's why I should carry them myself.'"

    Keane hit back: "There's people here obviously to help us and they're really helpful.

    "But you get out of the car and you've got a little bag and they're going 'I'll carry your bag' - I can carry the bag!"
