Leny Yoro Backs Manchester United to Win the Premier League Title
Leny Yoro has thrown down a marker for Manchester United’s season, insisting the Red Devils can challenge for the Premier League title in 2026-27. The young defender’s bullish verdict, reported by FotMob, comes as Michael Carrick prepares for his first full campaign in charge at Old Trafford.
Yoro’s confidence reflects a lift in mood at the club after an encouraging pre-season. The France international, one of United’s most promising young defenders, says there are “no excuses” for the squad this term. United finished third last season and are back in the Champions League, and the belief inside the dressing room is that Carrick’s side can push the established pace-setters. Supporters can keep across the mood through the latest Manchester United team news.
What Leny Yoro Said
Speaking about the season ahead, Yoro made clear he expects United to compete at the very top. The Mirror reported the defender claiming the club can win the league after a change of mood under Carrick — a bold statement from a player still establishing himself in England, but exactly the tone supporters have craved.
Whether United can back up those words will become clear once the Premier League gets under way. For now, Yoro’s ambition sets the marker for a season the Stretford End hopes finally delivers a genuine title tilt.
