“We NEED to respect the formation” | Leny Yoro exclusive interview with Rio

Manchester United’s young defender Leny Yoro sits down with Rio Ferdinand to discuss the art of defending, the challenging start he faced at the club and how the arrival of Ruben Amorim has impacted the way he’s adapted to life at Old Trafford.

Yoro reveals what it was like finishing at school to go and face Kylian Mbappe, how he deals with the pressure of people suggesting he can reach Virgil Van Dijk’s level and discusses the best and worst fashion amongst his team mates.

There’s a special shout out for Kobbie Mainoo who helped him settle at the club and Rio discusses the call he shared with Yoro when he helped persuade him to join Man Utd before he suffered an injury in pre-season.
