Erik ten Hag has a lot of confidence in the abilities of Leny Yoro as he joins Old Trafford. Despite being out with an injury, the teenager is already working hard to get back on the field and make his debut for Manchester United.
Yoro, who was signed for a whopping £52m from Lille, was highly sought after by both Manchester United and Real Madrid. Fans were eagerly anticipating his debut, but unfortunately, he suffered a serious foot injury during a pre-season match against Arsenal.
In a statement released by the club on Monday, it was confirmed that Yoro had undergone surgery and would be out for approximately three months. This may not be the start that the young Frenchman had hoped for, but his coach Ten Hag has been impressed by his mature attitude and determination to recover quickly.
Ten Hag spoke highly of Yoro's character, saying that it was one of the main reasons they signed him. Despite his young age, he is already very mature and focused on his goals. He has taken the injury in stride and is already working on his rehabilitation.
"He expresses one of the reasons why we signed him," Ten Hag told Sky Sports. "Very mature, great personality, dealing with it, looking forward, be positive. He's already started his rehab. A fire is burning there. As I say, for his age, he is already very mature and very balanced. You don't get him distracted. He knows what he wants, he knows where he wants to go and I'm sure he will be returning as soon as possible to support the team and help us win games and trophies."
Yoro's strong personality is crucial to the team and squad that Ten Hag is trying to build at Old Trafford. The coach believes that a balance between heart and head is necessary for success in football, and Yoro embodies both of these qualities.
"In football, both are very important," Ten Hag explained. "We need both things right to form a team. In the team, you need different skill sets, but personality, character, and mentality are very important to construct a winning team."
Unfortunately, Yoro will likely miss the first 10 Premier League matches of the season, with his expected return not until November. This is a blow for Manchester United, who have already had a tough time with injuries this summer. Rasmus Hojlund, Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelöf, and Jonny Evans are all currently dealing with fitness issues.
Despite these setbacks, Ten Hag remains optimistic and is determined to build a strong and successful team. Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing Yoro in action in the near future, as he continues his rehabilitation and works towards making his long-awaited debut for the club.
