Leny Yoro is heading to England for a physical after Lille accepted Manchester United’s £52 million proposal.

Despite stiff opposition from Real Madrid, the Red Devils are poised to complete a spectacular deal for the 18-year-old.

Leny Yoro is on his way to England for a physical after Manchester United’s £52 million bid was accepted by Lille. Yoro had expressed interest in moving to Spain.

However, The Athletic believes that United has blasted ahead after successfully submitting a £52 million offer.

Yoro is currently on his way to Carrington for a medical before finalizing a hefty contract.

The adolescent looks to have changed his mind after previously aiming for a Bernabeu switch.

Real named Yoro their top pick to replace departing veteran Nacho Fernandez.

And, with the kid out of contract next summer, they were even willing to wait a year before signing him on a free transfer.

But Yoro appears to have been persuaded by the project on offer at Old Trafford.

Behind the scenes, things have changed dramatically, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos taking over football operations.

The day-to-day operations are handled by new sporting director Dan Ashworth, technical chief Jason Wilcox, and CEO Omar Berrada.

Erik ten Hag has signed a new contract that runs until 2026.

Ruud van Nisterooy and Rene Hake have joined the Dutchman in the dugout as assistants.

United has already made their first deal, £37 million Netherland striker Joshua Zirkzee.

Matthijs de Ligt is scheduled to join from Bayern Munich.

Ten Hag might complete a hat-trick of Dutch Euro 2024 successes by signing PSG’s Xavi Simons.
