Named in the starting lineup for United’s pre-season friendly against Rangers, fans quickly saw his true potential.

Within just 15 minutes of the game, Yoro delivered a cross-field pass to the advancing Sam Murray, leaving him in ample space on the left flank.

The 18-year-old then made a superb last-ditch tackle to prevent Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers from shooting at Andre Onana.

Manchester United’s £52 million new signing left a strong impression on the club.

Fans responded positively to Yoro’s performance after just 15 minutes in a United jersey.

One fan wrote: “Not to over-exaggerate, but Leny Yoro MIGHT be the best centre-back in the world.”

Another said: “Early signs are promising, though tougher opposition will be a better test, but Leny Yoro looks promising.”

A third compared him to a legendary defender: “Leny Yoro is a freaking Rolls-Royce of a defender… I haven’t seen such quality at Manchester United since Rio Ferdinand.”

A fourth stated: “Leny Yoro is even better than I expected.”

Amad Diallo gave United the lead at 37 minutes, cutting in from the right before striking a superb effort into the corner.

The Ivorian is among several first-team players involved at Murrayfield, a neutral venue, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, and Casemiro all starting the first half.
