Amorim stunned the “generational” star prepared for a gigantic impact in tactical adjustments

Ruben Amorim and his coaching staff believe Manchester United have a “generational talent” in their ranks and according to the latest from Fabrizio Romano, the player is poised to make a major impact after the international break.

Erik ten Hag’s strike rate in the transfer market has been sketchy to say the least. But according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, new Amorim boss is delighted with one of his predecessor’s latest signings.

Leading to XRomano revealed that Amorim and his staff are looking at the centre-back Lenny Yoro as “generational talent”. Man Utd beat Real Madrid to the teenager’s signature in July, paying Lilla £58.9m (future add-ons included).

“Ruben Amorim and his staff consider Leny Yoro one of the most interesting players to develop for Man United’s long-term project,” Romano wrote.

“He is considered a generational talent by the club and Amorim and his staff fully agree with that. Yoro’s full recovery is also in its final stages.”

The recovery referred to is Yoro nearing full fitness after fracturing his metatarsal in pre-season. Injury and subsequent recovery prevented Yoro from making his competitive debut for the club, although that moment could now arrive after the international break.

Man Utd’s first game back is an away trip to Ipswich Town on Sunday 24th November.

Where will Leny Yoro play

Amorim is expected to deploy the 3-4-3 formation that worked wonders and helped lift the titles at Sporting CP.

As such, an additional centre-back will be selected in the starting eleven and Yoro could be tasked with playing on the right side of a three with Matthijs De Ligt at center and Lisandro Martinez on the left.
