How Zidane reacted to Leny Yoro’s “great” performance on France debut

France manager Zinedine Zidane praised Manchester United defender Leny Yoro following his international debut in a 4-1 comeback victory over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League. The 20-year-old was called into the squad to replace the injured Ibrahima Konaté and started in central defense alongside Maxence Lacroix. Zidane commended Yoro for having a "great game" and executing his role well against experienced competition.

During the match, Yoro marked striker Romelu Lukaku, successfully winning all four of his ground duels and all five aerial duels. Despite not yet starting a Premier League match this season for Manchester United, the writer suggests his strong showing for France could earn him opportunities under manager Michael Carrick following the international break.
