A huge fitness boost is on the way for Manchester United as summer signing Leny Yoro speeds up his recovery.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Yoro can now walk without a cane. He suffered a metatarsal injury in the preseason matchup with Arsenal in July.
He underwent surgery in August with the intention of recovering in three months.
This summer, the 18-year-old arrived to Old Trafford thanks to a £52 million transfer. Real Madrid lost to United in the competition to win him.
A good step towards Leny Yoro’s recovery
Man United knew during the medicals that Yoro might have a problem with his foot.
But they thought about going ahead with the signing because it was a “rare opportunity” to get one of Europe’s best young players.
Many people think Yoro is one of the best players of his age, and United couldn’t pass up the chance to sign the young star.
The Red Devils made an offer that LOSC Lille couldn’t refuse. Madrid and Liverpool also wanted to sign him.
United would like for the teenager to fit right in with the rest of the team.
In the summer, they got Matthijs de Ligt to play with Lisandro Martinez in the back.
Both of the centre-backs are only in their mid-20s, but they have already played a lot of top-level football.
Yoro might work well for spinning. This is a wise choice because the young star will be able to adjust to his new settings more quickly.
The defender’s transition into the spotlight is another area where United must exercise caution. The Frenchman has a fantastic talent, and the team must give him the extra attention he needs to develop.
If United gives him the necessary support, he might play a significant role in the defense for the next ten years.
