Leny Yoro trains with Manchester United for the first time on Friday, with the centre-back immediately settling into life at the club.

Leny Yoro trained with Manchester United for the first time on Friday, with the centre-back immediately settling into life at the club following his switch from Lille.

Man United confirmed the 18-year-old's arrival on Thursday night, and he has been able to link straight up with his new teammates, having not been involved in any international football this summer.

Yoro was not included in the France squad for Euro 2024, while he will also not represent his country at the Olympics in Paris.

Images released by the 20-time English champions confirmed that Yoro was able to train with his new club for the first time on Friday.

Yoro is set to travel on Man United's US tour

Yoro made 44 appearances for Lille during the 2023-24 campaign, including 32 outings in Ligue 1, and his form earned him a spot in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year.

Real Madrid had been heavily linked with the defender this summer, but it was Man United that won the race for his signature, with the defender joining on an initial five-year contract.

Yoro is now set to travel with the Red Devils squad on their pre-season tour of the United States, which will include matches against Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool.

The centre-back's competitive debut for Man United could then arrive against Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 10, with that clash coming six days before their Premier League opener with Fulham.

Will Yoro face Rangers on Saturday?

Man United will play their second friendly of the summer against Rangers in Edinburgh on Saturday.

The Red Devils are yet to release their squad for the fixture, but Yoro is not expected to be involved.
