Manchester United are said to have serious interest in Lille defender Leny Yoro.

The centre half is one who United believe can elevate their backline in the coming years.

Per the Manchester Evening News, European reports have linked both United and rivals Manchester City to Yoro.

Former Newcastle winger Remy Cabella, a teammate of his at Lille, believes Yoro can shine in England.

He stated: “At Marseille, I knew Boubacar Kamara, at Saint-Étienne, William Saliba and Wesley Fofana, and now there's Leny Yoro.

“He has all the qualities and potential to do something huge. He's very humble and that's another of his strengths."
