Lille defender Leny Yoro has hit back at suggestions on social media that he is not interested in a move to Manchester United.

The 18-year-old centre-half has emerged as one of the most sought-after young players in Europe with United stepping up efforts to bring him to Old Trafford.

On Tuesday, the Premier League side saw an offer of £42million accepted by Lille with United keen to sign at least two new centre-halves this summer.

It has long been suggested that Yoro?s preferred destination is Real Madrid, however. The Spanish champions hope to sign the youngster this summer, with reports in the French and Spanish press claiming in recent weeks he has his heart set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real are yet to meet Lille?s asking price however ? with their initial offer standing at less than half of United?s at around £17m.

Lille are thought to be pushing Yoro towards United with more money on the table but the decision will ultimately rest with the player.

On Tuesday night, an X account impersonating Yoro tweeted in response to the United development: ?I don?t want you Manchester United. Leave me alone?.
