Manchester, July 27, 2024 — Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has spoken highly of Leny Yoro, the club’s promising young centre-back, stressing the importance of mentorship and support for the 18-year-old.

 

In a recent interview, Maguire highlighted Yoro’s potential and the crucial role senior players must play in guiding him through his development at one of the world’s biggest football clubs. “We must remind ourselves he is really young.

With years of experience at the highest level, including his time as England’s national team captain, Maguire understands the pressures and expectations that come with playing for a club like Manchester United. His guidance will be invaluable as Yoro navigates the early stages of his professional career.

 

As the new season approaches, United fans will be eager to see how Yoro integrates into the first team and how Maguire’s mentorship helps shape the future of this promising young defender. With the support of his senior teammates and the backing of the coaching staff, Leny Yoro is poised to make a significant impact at Old Trafford in the years to come.
