Manchester United defender Leny Yoro is facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford as the club reportedly assesses long-term options for their defense. The 20-year-old center-back signed from Lille for around £52 million in 2024 but has struggled for regular playing time under manager Michael Carrick this season, starting just two matches across all competitions.
