Leny Yoro, a 19-year-old centre-back who joined Manchester United for a hefty fee, has expressed no regrets about his move despite facing a challenging debut season.
Leny Yoro has 'no regrets' about making the move to Manchester United. The 19-year-old centre-back joined United for £52.2million plus add-ons in the summer but has made just five appearances after suffering a broken foot in pre-season.

'The speed, the way he handled one against one, in a very difficult stadium. a lot of time without playing, you can see the quality.'
