Amorim drops big hint, world-class £52m talent to get second Man Utd start vs Wolves on Boxing Day - view
Manchester United will travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League tomorrow.
United manager Ruben Amorim hinted in his pre-match press conference that he will continue rotating his players to avoid injuries.
Amorim has rotated his side heavily in all nine games he has managed at the Red Devils.
He will continue in the same vein tomorrow, with Leny Yoro likely to make his second league start of the season against Wolves.
The 19-year-old has played four times in the top flight, with his only previous start coming in the 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
He completed his first 90 minutes of the season in a 4-3 League Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite the loss, the young defender impressed in the high-intensity game. The goals conceded were due to mistakes from Altay Bayindir and Lisandro Martinez.
Yoro could be recalled to the starting XI at the expense of Tyrell Malacia. The Dutch full-back had a forgettable outing against Bournemouth.
He will need more time to get back up to speed after being on the sidelines for 18 months.
Dalot can occupy the left-wing back spot, allowing Noussair Mazraoui to do the same job on the opposite flank.
Yoro could move to the right centre-back spot where he has featured under Amorim.
He looked uncomfortable last weekend and should have done better to prevent Bournemouth’s third goal.
The Frenchman moved to Old Trafford in a £52 million deal last summer. He is very young and will need time to develop his game.
However, early impressions suggest he is a world-class talent with a bright future.
Yoro will hope to deliver a strong performance on Boxing Day to cement his starting spot.
