Manchester United’s dressing room feels like it’s in a good place right now and Leny Yoro has quickly become one of the favourites at the club.
From overcoming an injury-ridden start to showcasing glimpses of his vast potential, Leny Yoro has become the template for future transfers when it comes to young and exciting players.
His one-on-one defending and combination of pace and power makes him a formidable opponent to get past but one player at Man Utd even manages to give him trouble.
The Frenchman has revealed who is the Man Utd star hardest to defend in training and used some choice words to describe him!
Leny Yoro on hardest Man Utd teammate to defend
Despite losing the likes of Antony and Marcus Rashford in the January window, Man Utd have some tricky players on their books.
From Alejandro Garnacho, who looks to outpace his opponent to Amad, who is more of an on-ball dribbles and relies on feints and skill to get past his rivals, United have varied attacking threats.
Yoro was asked who the toughest player to defend is in Man Utd training while speaking to Sky Sports and he immediately had one player on his mind.
Perhaps to nobody’s surprise, he chose Amad because he combines the best of Garnacho with the trickery to boot.
Yoro said: “I would say Amad [is the hardest to defend in training] because he’s really quick, tries to sprint and leaves [you] behind. Quick technique, technical guy so very difficult to defend. One vs one he’s too good. He’s just crazy. Big personality.”
Amad is a popular player in the dressing room
Yoro affectionately called Amad a “crazy guy” and that’s a moniker that many Man Utd fans would agree with.
Amad’s social media is increasingly becoming the stuff of legends, with the Ivorian acting like one of the fans in the increasingly sanitised world of social media.
His banter with his teammates makes him stand out as a breath of fresh air and combined with his increasingly influential role on the pitch, he’s emerged as a popular player in the dressing room.
Alongside Yoro, Amad has the potential to be a member of the spine of the next great Man Utd team and he’s done his prospects no harm with his recent miraculous injury return.
United dressing room has been plagued by reports of restlessness for far too long so a personality like Amad was much needed. Yoro is clearly a fan!
