How Leny Yoro Solves Man United's BIGGEST Problem
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Manchester United have signed Leny Yoro from Lille for just shy of £60m. It's a transfer fee that's being called "inflated" but, given Erik ten Hag's defensive shortcomings last season, could it actually work out to be a bargain? Adam Clery takes a lot at what the player offers, and what Man United really need, to find out.

2:22 says yoro missed only 3 days of his career to injury. Plays his first match and limps of injured. What a jinx
Peak Yanited jinx 🤣
misses 3 months now 😮💨
You mentioned a few times how he’s not a front foot defender. But didn’t really mention how that’s the perfect fit for Martinez. It allows him to be aggressive without worrying about leaving a slow Maguire or a crocked Varane behind to cover. That’s what makes him so valuable. Martinez is key to everything.
Definitely agree that the butcher could be ideal as CB partner
I think that part was implied lol. I thought that was going to be the first and last thing said: “He solves United’s biggest problem, which is letting Lisandro Martinez play his game without making United the most easily counterattacked team in Europe.”
@@davidgriffith1552 I thought the exact same. I’m just surprised Adam didn’t mention it directly! That’s the REAL reason we need the perfect sweeper defender.
@@davidgriffith1552same
Varane was not slow, Maguire sure was
Could you make a video where you talk about what type of player you think Kobbie Mainoo should be and what kind of midfielder should be brought in to complement him?
What do u mean what type of midfielder he should be? He is the player he is now. An aggressive cdm
@@benhardcastle2305mainoo is definitely a central midfielder. He can play cdm but we would be wasting his talent.
@@benhardcastle2305 he definitely isn't - he's much more of a midfield controller & carrier in the Frenkie de Jong mould and needs that aggressive ball winner to complement him
They are asking a lot of young players here. Once again we will see them burned out by 23-25. Honestly it just takes one bad injury.
Just in case confusion the likes of Zirkee is ready to rumble really 👍👍
0:40 they didn't pay double what he's valued at. His market value is 50 million euro. They paid 50 million euro, so thats paiing market value. Just because Real Madrid offered a lower bid, doesn't mean thats hus value. Check his value on the value market.
Yeah... Market value... How objective 😂😂😂😂
Was that his market value before they were interested?
@@jasonwall5012 transfermarkt isn't reliable for transfer value, Lille requested 60 million pounds and United paid 53 million. Saka on transfermarkt is worth 150 mill, his actual worth is 200 million pounds+
@@emilevangheem6165 yes, before United were in for him Lille requested 60-70 mill from Madrid, they refused. People are saying he's only worth 25 mill because Madrid weren't willing to pay anymore despite anyone doing a bit of research would realize they can't afford to spend 60-70 mill
With 1 year remaining on his contract he was worth less than his value
Thanks for highlighting quite how outrageous the injury issues were last season. The centre backs were always changing and even the ones that had to play were rarely fit or only just coming back. Never seen quite that level of catastrophe of injuries in a backline over a season.
I can see him linking well with Mainoo. United now have half of a very good team
A team is 11 plus subs, you say with two they have a good team, this is football, not tennis doubles.
@@abelovedsonofGodinwhomHeis35-6 Sadly, that's true. And because of that I think City are still favorites for yet another Premier League title. Their bench is just SO much better than that of other teams. I guess Rodri is their only 'weak spot'. If he's out, they instantly drop in quality.
@@abelovedsonofGodinwhomHeis35-6 ye he was probly including our other good players
@@abelovedsonofGodinwhomHeis35-6 He said he will link well with Mainoo [end of sentence] United now have half (with others not mentioned) of a very good team. I agreed
Both overhyped youngsters .... Have fun
He gets in ahead of all the defenders we have except Martinez, as for the aggressive defending who better could he play next to and learn from?
Shaws pace playing LCB made us impressive
He was and is absolute quality at CB
ADAM CLERY FOR ENGLAND MANAGER WC2026
Varane was still very quick, his issue was staying fit. If he was more available we would have kept him.
remember last season when analysts were telling us how Onana was going to revolutionise the way man utd play out from the back and had lots of diagrams with triangles and whatnot to illustrate this. Then the season started and we saw NONE of this. Lets wait and see
He just told you about the nightmare that was our CB pairings! You're either trolling us or, well, obviously not the brightest bulb in the room
@@jon3416tell him...TELL HIM!😂
Then the injuries happened.😢
I don't know how much you watched (if at all) but the playing out from the back worked when we had consistency. You can't get far in a boat when the seas are rough
Like Verane in Real Madrid he plays Infront of the keeper, stays Cool and collected, just a no nonsense CB with a good read of the game and excellent tackle timing. Not super impressive with the ball, but he's young so he can improve.
But he is pointless when he plays 10 percent a season and has done since at manu
@@faybooth1502 he's not talking about Varane mate.. Varane plays for Como..
he is the most impressive ball playing U-21 cb in the world mate
@ahonroy276 don't think he watched yoro play Saturday against rangers
Plus he doesn’t have to be, there’s Martinez next to him
Love it. Sounds promising. If we need a more aggressive option in certain games let's hope De Ligt is in the door too as he is exactly that brand of CB
i think one of the cons of de ligt is he's injury prone...but he is good
Do they not remember what they did to Harry Maguire? Great defenders at other clubs always go down in quality for Man U because that’s the Man U effect
I'm a United fan and I am excited, but trying to temper that excitement. You can see from his numbers that he's not the finished article yet, and I hope we're not going to pile too much expectation on him.
I do worry that we might have solved the problem of a lack of pace only to create a different problem. I imagine the first choice partnership will be Yoro and Martinez, and I think that could potentially be bullied by teams pumping high balls into our box. Yoro has the height, but not the strength to be a dominant centre back, and of course Martinez is 5'2.
Usually really accurate vids from this guy but…. United didn’t pay twice what he was valued. They paid twice what Real Madrid were low balling Lille with.
I'm pretty sure he said Real Madrid's offer because he definitely wanted to go to Real Madrid and the next biggest club is United so that was the only true and blue competition
@@armyajnope. Listen from around 00:00:35 - it’s clear.
Real Madrid was waiting for Yoro's contract to expire. what is double is the wages i presume
@@NyoikeGames7890You presume wrongly: he talked about his transfer value. Incidentally, the lad is now on a pretty hefty weekly wage for an 18 year old, but I doubt it’s twice what Madrid would have paid him next year on a free (as those wages are always higher)
@11.08 I don't think you could outpace Varane tbh haha
I think that was the joke mate 😂
I hope you’re right, but I do remember you telling us amrabat was going to solve all our problems, and I do remember you telling us mount was also going to. So I’ll reserve my judgement
Very good presentation. To the point and sprinkled with entertaining witticisms. Well done!
The long passes thing sounds to me like it was either part of him being the deeper/sweeper defender or potentially a tactical instruction. We will see.
Great video again. You didn't talk about he compliments Martinez. I would love to know your thoughts on their skill sets together.
From what I heard, Yoro was more interested to join Real Madrid but they wanted to sign him for free at the end on his contract in 2025, so Lille director of football basically said "either you go to Manchester United or you play the whole season with the B team".
He is a good player, but it might be a little early to ask him to fix everything in his first season. Especially considering his age.
Not a United fan but he was worth 60 million pounds. United paid 53 million pounds up front. They got him for his value
in a way, sure. but situation matters. he had 1 year left on the deal from a non-PSG Ligue 1 side.
No united paid 42 million pound, 50 million euro.
@@jasonwall5012 no, 53 million pounds
@@Ghfjgjggj123shdhfnfmdk no it was 42 million English pound. The add ons haven't been achieved yet. Up front payment is 42 million English pound / 50 million Euro. And if even the add ons get achieved, it'll be 52 million English pound.
@@jasonwall5012 it's 53 million pounds + add ons
I haven't watched much of Varane last year at United and maybe he lost a step (or many). But in his prime he was one of the fastest central defenders in the world.
he has had been injured so often since he came to United that he’s lost several steps. He wasn’t Harry Maguire slow last year at United, but he wasn’t noticeably faster than Maguire either. What made him so valuable in contrast, however, was his agility and footballing IQ… he sees shit before anyone else (including the forward with the ball half the time). If only he could have stayed healthy, would have been mint for us
That’s what I’m confused about Adam calling him slow. He may not be as quick as before but he’s definitely still quick
@@davidgriffith1552yes he was, u didn’t see him get beat to lose balls often
I have waited for your analysis
Another great video from our main man Adam Clery!
Ferdinand being his idol growing up? Yoro was born in 2006 and was 6 years old when Rio was in big decline in 2012, so this is pure PR bullshit. And his fee was 50 mio €, raising to 60 € with add ons.
arsenal fan here, but i'm so excited about brighton's new head coach Fabian Hürzeler. Please do a deep dive on his tactics and how brighton might set up under him!
I can see Yoro as a great Varane-like covering CB to pair with an aggressive player like Martinez who likes to step out from the back line. I think he'd still benefit from some competition & learning from an experienced player like De Ligt though.
Martinez and Yoro are gonna be an excellent pairing, and if Shaw can stay healthy him and Dalot would be a class back 4. A boost in this team's defense is gonna make a much larger difference than people think. Tactics are gonna make a lot more sense with the right personnel in place. We could be looking at a much improved United side this season, we'll see.
"The most valuable ability is availability"- been saying that for years. Just look at Shaw and Martinez; two EXCEPTIONAL footballers but they spent most of their time on the treatment beds.
So what I'm getting is that his type of defending is Wan Bissaka esque. I always thought AWB could be a very good sweeper CB if only he improved his on ball capabilities
How is nobody pointing out the great dad joke in the background? Nice one Adam
It was the first thing i noticed lol
Loved this.. why hasn’t this come up on my feed before! 😢❤
its actually quite impressive with what we did last season with no defense whatsoever... even if we somehow finished 8th
I've been trying to tell all the Manchester United critics, that this is the main reason for having such a bad season . Brilliant video, and thanks for the defensive partnership chart. I've already sent it to some of the haters lol. Yes I think the spine is taking shape, just another midfielder or 2 would be a good summer.
Thanks again
hes cost united 40m pounds people keep saying the euros with add ons as the full price in pounds. typical when people report on united.
Building narratives to tear him down later. They've almost double his transfer fee in the media since the deal was first reported.
"Manchester United have signed French defender Leny Yoro from Lille until 2029 in a deal worth 62m euros (£52.18m), with 8m euros (£6.73m) in add-ons."
That's from BBC's official website.
What's your source for the 40m?
@@Qlicky Fabrizio Romano - 42m pounds + 10m pounds
@@pradhyumnasampigettaya3113 So, it's not 40m, but 42m?
@@Qlicky yeah, in any financial aspects you would round up 42m to 40m rather than 60m. So, him saying 40m is not a cardinal sin.
A Refreshingly nice RUclips video about Man Utd at last.
Watched the Rangers pre-season game. The boy really does pass the eye test. Here's hoping for a bright future.
I've only seen him in the 2 games Lille played against Villa... but he got completely bullied by Watkins.
He's still young and I think he'll take time to grow into the physicality of the Premier League.
I donno how you watched but he was the best defender of the match when Lille beat Villa at Home and won all the duels
tbh hes one for the future , cant see him starting no more than 25 games in all competitions
stats for those games actually disagree but I value the eye test
@@FOOTIATOR He really wasn't 🤣Even Zaniolo was all over him...
Villa only lost that game cause Luiz + their defence was terrible.
I watched both games in full.
@@dazred1 Do you guys understand that he's 18 with 1 year pro experience playing against one of the best strikers in the Prem last season? Cut him some slack and let him develop
can you do pre-season break-downs?? just to see/predict how teams will set-up for the coming season
Keep your fingers crossed. I like Yoro from what I saw with Rangers
We got a Varane gem under our nose.
Is that graph of CB pairings really correct? It only added up to a total of 35 games as far as I saw...
In the PL
He’s going to prevent injuries and sell Maguire???? That will be pretty impressive.
love the superbowl shoutout hahahaha
That was quick
Am I missing something? When did Varane become slow? He’s still quick 😂
Bee's can be swift...Thanks, lovely show!
A vid on Archie gray would be nice
RIP that young lad's career. Players don't develop at that club any more
He'll be just fine. We are a whole new outfit! Still in denial that we're actually under a footballing regime and not a business one huh. Cope
Players don't develop at United? What about the talents at United in Carrington that just won the PL for their division
Excellent video. Excellent analysis. Subscribed.
The kid wanting ETH autograph and being blanked at 1:59
He hasn’t solved anything yet how about wait and see when the season starts 😂
The future's bright
hard to judge someones injury record after 1 full season of senior football
United doesnt need more players that just yeet the ball forward to yeet it forward.. We need more players that are smart about it and prefer to maintain posession. Make a forward pass when it results in a chance and he did some quite good passes towards the offensive line he just wasnt in a rush to do so... How often did we talk about how Man United rushed things and made unnecessary decisions when they could do a more reasonable play maintain possession and look for holes in the defence.. Yoro is just what we need. Also yes he is young and still have much growin to do but found it funny how fans have already gone out and spread excuses for Yoro, he is young we cant expect a class player so young... When the game he has played showed quite the performance IMO. I mean sure he isnt a nr1 defender in the world right now but why are we defending a man that is already doing fantastic? haha
What's happened to the chroma keying in this episode??
Surprised his progressive passing stats are so low given how he played against Rangers. I'm not really worried about his ability to do so. Sometimes stats just show what a player did/didn't do, not necessarily what they're capable of
That's why I don't Braithwaite should be signed
Yoro is a progressive defender yet
He needs a partner like martinez that progress quickly and more confidence.
But united fans are in love with his left foot and his size
Great video but please remove that green screen it was much better with plain background
Bro don't give us hope 😢 at just pre season friendly match
Thank you for actually contextualising the data and making sense of it. Definitely a starter for me. Best 11 would what you pick at the end but with Mount having Mainoo and Mount as two 8’s, just throw the kitchen sink at teams and go aggressive 😂
Can you please do a video on comparing, somehow, England golden generation v now and if Southgate would have managed that side better then Hoddle, Sven and Capello? And vice versa? Does that make sense?
Are they going to start an 18 year old in Central defence for the majority of games?
Did I just hear, "I have a heart condition and needs made out of crisp packets"
heh
knees
ADAM MCLERY I AM OBSESSED WITH YOU GODSPEED SIR AS YOU WERE.
Can u do a calafiori vid plz
As soon as he said sweeper, I knew the exact problem he solves!
Man City got faster with Savinho signing... alongside Doku... so I think Man U still needs De Ligt for more CB depth and I like Wan-Bissaka and Dalot at RB... not sure why we're going after Mazraoui.... Shaw and Malacia (Hopefully he recovers well) and Amass at LB seems fine... I guess if you have to nitpick.. a young speedy RB would be great but any world class team would be after that too lol
Adam can you do a video on me. Your always so positive 😂. Love the presentation and content though ❤
Great video
Rabiot would be the last piece of the puzzle in midfield.
thanks again
1. Yoro is nor better at reading danger, at 18, than Varane or Maguire.
2. Lisandro Martinez MUCH quicker than Yoro, thus the problem was already technically solved with his return from injury.
Nevertheless, top top talent. Paid way over the odds for him with 1 year left on deal, but you're paying for the potential... and he could easily be one of the best. This season though, I reckon you'll see a high number of mistakes and Yoro largely protected. Martinez and Maguire start.
You lost me at Maguire reading danger. The guy is the danger. If it isn't his erratic clearances under pressure, he's rough-tackling the opposition. We're lucky he's British and the refs overlook most of these. From the Rangers game alone you can see the stability and calmness this kid brings to the back line. With Maguire it'd be 10+ passes to Onana who'd be then forced to go long and give up possession. Lisandro complements him and it's a different position so no point comparing them. Just like with Mainoo, people try to point out little flaws in his game, when it's crystal clear how good these young lads are! He'll be exceptional you can already see it
Adam you make me always laugh. It could be an interesting season
He could grow another 2-3 cms. I didn’t stop growing until 21.
NOW HE IS INJURED 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Nice video, thanks
You'll like to over hype these new signings and when they can't meet your unrealistic expectations.... You'll bash him
So he is similiar to vdv?
We still need another CB, lets hope we get the De Ligt deal done.
I know I'm not the first to allude to it... but thanks for completely jinxing Yoro. Next time touch some damn wood! Thanks you for your consideration
Nice analysis.
man united biggest problem is the disconnection in-between lines, midfield and wingers dont help defending most times, and games are won and lost in the midfield
Not really it’s because the defense are to slow and leave huge gap in behind for the attackers and midfielders to cover
ETH took a very bold step to stick with his system regardless of having good defenders or not and he wasn’t scared of the gap created just to make sure the attackers and midfielders understand their spacing when the right system is in place 😊
Main defensive line will be
Shaw
Martinez
De ligt
Mazouri
quote of the day "What a body that is "😂
just a correction. his market value is £47m (united paid £42m base fee), his actual valuation from lille was initially €100m, but they were resigned to the fact they had to accept less to gain something. madrid were only willing to pay €30m. madrid don’t determine market and club value.
sorry but did he just say varane is slow.......
If we go along with the assumption that our CB were the reason that we couldn't press high cohesively because they are unathletic; then United need another CB as none of the other options are very mobile.
Lisandro Martinez?
I kinda wish we kept Varane on less wages for another season because Yoro could have learned so much.
Varane always injured. We will go for de ligt instead.
Let's not get too excited.
Man United's biggest problem is midfield instability, and it's still unsolved. We still have only Mainoo as the quality midfielder there, and untill it's solved, every Tom, Dick and Harry will continue to outplay us as it always has been, and Yoro+Martinez will continue to face arssnals of assault week in, week out
50 million for a player with world class potential is barely an overpay in today's market
nothing can solve Man United's BIGGEST Problem
Biggest problem is the deadwood overpaid players who have no ambitions to play football
He's gonna get injured, ain't he?
My man, you really believe you could beat Varane in a race 💀 that is delusion 10:50 sure anyone can beat Evans but Varane? That’s mad
Beyond his yeahs
in 3 to 4 years he will be a Madridista but lets see what the guy has for us in the mean time
What a bad take. Varanes stats were much better, and he is definitely going to help Uniteds possesion game smh
