Manchester United firmly stands by Leny Yoro, rejecting any potential January loan to AC Milan, despite interest from former manager Ruben Amorim. Yoro, a 20-year-old French defender, has seen his playing time fluctuate under current boss Michael Carrick, prompting Milan to consider a loan move.

Yoro's situation has garnered attention as he has become a subject of speculation. Notably, Amorim, who previously utilized Yoro during his tenure at Old Trafford, is eager to reunite with the young defender. Milan’s search for defensive reinforcements aligns with this interest, but United's resolve appears unwavering:

• United's long-term plans include Yoro, especially after investing significantly to secure him from Lille in 2024.
• Recent performances, including his senior France debut against Belgium, where he played the full match in a 4-1 Nations League victory, have bolstered his standing.

From Manchester United's perspective, allowing Yoro to depart at this stage would be unwise. The club acknowledges that young centre-backs often require time to develop fully, especially given Yoro's challenges with injuries and managerial changes.

United aims to provide Yoro a clearer pathway into Carrick's squad, emphasizing patience in his growth rather than facilitating another club's pursuit of one of their promising talents. Without Yoro expressing a desire for a permanent move, keeping him at Old Trafford remains the more prudent choice.
