Leny Yoro delivers seven-word verdict on Manchester United debut after injury woes

Leny Yoro in action for United.

Leny Yoro has reacted to finally making his Manchester United debut after his summer move.

Manchester United centre-back Leny Yoro admits he holds mixed feelings after finally making his debut for the club vs Arsenal on Wednesday night.

Yoro was signed by United this summer transfer window for £52million as the Premier League giants aimed to prevent Real Madrid from snapping-up the talented centre-back. After agreeing his transfer to Old Trafford, the Frenchman was named in United's pre-season squad which toured the United States.

In his first outing for the club - incidentally against Arsenal - Yoro fractured his foot to rule him out of the start of the Premier League campaign and beyond. By the time he was fit to return - on Wednesday night at Arsenal - the manager who signed him had already departed.

At the end of October, Erik ten Hag was fired by Ineos due to a poor start to the campaign with Ruben Amorim replacing him in mid-November. Since then, all eyes have been on Yoro making his debut for the club - and fans finally got their wish when he replaced Harry Maguire on the hour-mark.

United would lose the game 2-0, thanks to second half goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba. While the result is not what he would have dreamed for, Yoro was still pleased to make his competitive debut for United.

Sharing a picture of himself in action to Instagram, the centre-back wrote: "Mixed feelings but here we are, finally." The aim for Yoro will be to build on this cameo moving forward - with another opportunity for minutes coming on Saturday evening when United host Nottingham Forest.
