Manchester United has agreed to pay an initial fee of £52m for Yoro, 18, with a potential further £6.7m payable in add-ons. Yoro played 60 first-team games for Lille and was named in the Ligue 1 team of the season last term.

He is set to join the United squad immediately and will be involved in the club’s upcoming tour of the US. Yoro expressed his excitement about joining the club, citing the clear plan set out for his development in Manchester and the support shown to him and his family.

He believes that Manchester United is the perfect place to reach his potential and achieve his ambitions alongside his new teammates. The club also expressed its enthusiasm for supporting Yoro in reaching his potential at Manchester United, highlighting its record of developing young players and providing the necessary guidance and patience for them to flourish.

In addition to acquiring Yoro, Manchester United is looking to bolster its defense following significant challenges in the previous season. The departure of Raphael Varane has left a gap in the backline, and the club is considering potential signings to address this, such as Matthijs de Ligt and Jarrad Branthwaite.

Furthermore, Manchester United has unveiled a new partnership with a WhatsApp community, offering members access to exclusive Mirror Football content, special offers, promotions, and adverts. The club has also unveiled a redesigned collar for its jersey, featuring a modernized look with dashes of red and white.
