Mason Mount and Amad react to cryptic Man United post by Leny Yoro
Man United defender Leny Yoro sparked curiosity with a cryptic post on social media following the club’s 1-0 victory over Fulham in the Premier League on 26 January.
The Red Devils secured all three points thanks to a late deflected strike from Lisandro Martinez, with the goal proving to be the only one of the game.
Yoro, who came on in the 58th minute for Matthijs De Ligt, continues to fight for a regular starting spot in Ruben Amorim’s squad.
After the match, the 19-year-old shared a collage of images on Instagram, featuring a motivational quote that read: “Stop looking back. You’re not going that way.”
He captioned the post with: “𝗧.𝗢.𝗚.𝗘.𝗧.𝗛.𝗘.𝗥. More United than ever”
Teammates Mason Mount and Amad showed their support by liking the post, as the young defender continues to work his way into the first team.
Man United are being patient with Leny Yoro
United made a bold move in the summer of 2024, reportedly beating off competition to sign Yoro for a hefty £52 million, making him the most expensive player aged 18 or younger [BBC Sport].
However, the young centre-back has yet to fully establish himself at Old Trafford, with just four starts in the Premier League this season.
Despite Yoro’s potential, United have shown trust in experienced players, with Harry Maguire being handed a new contract despite some fan disapproval. Amorim’s preference for senior players is understandable, given the club’s defensive issues this season.
United have struggled at the back, conceding 28 goals in the league and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games across all competitions before their win against Fulham.
Fans have voiced frustration over defensive performances, with goalkeeper Andre Onana being a key point of concern for errors.
Football Insider Verdict
United’s are likely to give Yoro time to adjust to the new league, system, and manager, with Erik ten Hag having been the one to sign him.
Yoro’s cryptic post could be a sign of unity, despite Amorim’s reported anger, including smashing a TV after recent results [Daily Mail]. However, his belief in the club’s togetherness suggests hope for his future at Old Trafford.
