Manchester United defender, Leny Yoro has come out to reveal the two Manchester United centre-backs he was most inspired by. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Varane and Rio Ferdinand have inspired his defensive game over the years, and he considers both players some of the best CBs the world has ever seen.
Yoro added that Rio even helped him make his choice ahead of his transfer because he told him how big MUFC is.
His words, “Let’s say, Rapha Varane. He is a top defender. He didn’t play a long time here [Man Utd] but he’s an inspiration for me.
United legend? Let’s say Rio Ferdinand. I don’t even know if I can explain this guy but he’s a top defender and a really good guy. I just called him but I hope to meet him soon. Not today, but during the transfer market. He helped me a lot to make my choice, he explained how big United is, so it was really good for me.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
