Rio Ferdinand full of praise for Amorim’s player: I love him | OneFootball

Despite Manchester United's turbulent start to the season, Rio Ferdinand highlighted Leny Yoro as an elite defender in Ruben Amorim's squad. The former Manchester United defender even says that the 19-year-old Frenchman still has a lot of potential.

"Leny Yoro has speed, he will gain even more with time. Yes, I love him. I think his limit... I don't know where it is, how high it can be, [it can] be anything". The now commentator believes that the footballer has all the characteristics to become an excellent defender.

"He just needs the right pieces around him to help him as a youngster, but I think he has all the necessary characteristics to be an excellent centre-back, and he will be, because he wants to be. He is a hard worker. He is diligent, but also needs time", he told the English press.

Ruben Amorim also had no problem lavishing praise on Leny Yoro recently. "He works a lot. He is gaining muscle. Everything you don't see, he does. He will be a top player, top. He will have a great career here in Manchester. For that, he knows he has to prove his worth in every game", said the Portuguese coach.

On the other hand, André Onana, Manchester United's goalkeeper, will be the new addition to Trabzonspor. The loan contract has already been signed and the 29-year-old athlete is then expected by the Turkish club in the coming hours to be made official.
