Manchester United brought Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt to the club in the summer to bolster our defence. Yoro missed the opening months of the season with injury while De Ligt has been adjusting to life in the Premier League, but both appear to be astute signings.
Speaking to Inside United, fellow defender Harry Maguire has spoken about his admiration for his two teammates.
They’re really good players. They’re top players, otherwise they wouldn’t be playing for this club. Obviously, Leny’s a young boy with all the attributes to go on to be an elite centre-back. He has everything that you want in a modern-day centre-back at the moment. He needs guiding through. Obviously, this is a tough, tough period for the club. But it would be a great learning curve for him and he’ll learn a lot from it. And I have no doubts he’s going to go on and have a great career for this club.
Matta has obviously come in and looked really solid and he’s a good player. He’s been at numerous big clubs, so he probably knows a lot more about the pressures and the privileges of playing for these type of clubs. He brings great experience and great leadership as well.
So [they are] two great players to have around the place. Like I said, at the moment, it’s a tough period for us on the pitch, but I’m sure there’ll be many times where they’re both playing and the club have turned things around and they’re winning a lot more football matches.
