After Fernandes & Diallo: Amorim has a new undroppable star, won 7/11 ground duels vs Everton

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has dropped a major hint for the forthcoming season.

Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo were the United players who gave their best last term.

They are expected to be central to the team in the 2025–26 season.

We believe Leny Yoro could be another undroppable star under Amorim.

The teenage sensation is one of only three players, alongside Fernandes and Diallo, to have started every pre-season tour game so far.

Amorim has trusted Yoro to occupy the right centre-back spot, and the Frenchman has grasped the opportunity with both hands.

Yoro has not only shown great defensive instincts but also impressed with his progressive ball distribution.

He defended solidly by making key tackles and interceptions.

He won seven out of eleven ground duels against Everton, more than any other defender on the pitch.

Amorim demands that his defenders be aggressive and proactive in squeezing space.

Yoro has displayed remarkable maturity to live up to those expectations.

Despite being 19, he has superb game-reading ability and could be one of the superstars of the next generation.

United forked out an initial transfer fee of £52 million to sign him from Lille last summer.

Real Madrid were leading the chase for the teenager, but he chose to move to Old Trafford instead.

With the departure of Victor Lindelof, Yoro could become a mainstay in United’s XI.

He is expected to battle it out with Noussair Mazraoui for the right centre-back role in the upcoming campaign.
