Manchester United centre-back Leny Yoro is settling into the team after making his return from injury.
Leny Yoro made his comeback form injury for Manchester United last week against Arsenal, and there was a positive reception to his debut.
Yoro’s performance was praised in his native France, and he was handed his first ever start and appearance at Old Trafford in the weekend loss to Nottingham Forest.
The defender is awaiting his first competitive win in a Manchester United shirt, and ahead of the game against Plzen, Ruben Amorim has introduced Yoro to a further reality of life as a Red Devils player…. criticism.

Amorim points out Yoro error
Ruben Amorim is desperately trying to teach Manchester United’s players how to play in his system, make the right choices with passes, and be in the right positions.
It’s trial and error, and Amorim discussed this at his press conference in the Czech Republic ahead of the Plzen game.
Asked what went wrong against Forest in the 3-2 loss, Amorim pointed out United’s poor passing, and specifically picked out an error from Leny Yoro.
Amorim told club media: “It is really simple. I think against Nottingham [Forest] we should pass the ball a little bit quicker, so it is with safety but a little bit more quicker when everything is blocked. For me the most important point is that every player should be in the good position to start when we play.

“We were controlling the game and we started the second half very well and if you remember one play, Leny Yoro makes a one-two, jumps and then makes a bad pass. He [gives them] a counter attack and then, a goal.”
This won’t be anything Ruben Amorim has not already told Leny Yoro directly. But it is a sign of the head coach’s openness that he is willing to reference it publicly.
In any case, Yoro can be given somewhat of an excuse on his first competitive start since May. It would be a surprise if he was not a little rusty, and it has to be remembered he is only 18.
Yoro ‘virtually untouchable’
Leny Yoro will want to improve, but he certainly has no need to worry. He is a long-term investment by Manchester United.
Amid speculation over the club considering the futures of many players amid a terrible start to the season, Yoro is safe.
The Mail claim Leny Yoro is ‘virtually untouchable’, a key part of Manchester United’s long-terms defence.
And it’s because of this, Ruben Amorim is so keen that he gets Leny Yoro up to speed, playing his best games error-free.
