EPL: Leny Yoro Set for Manchester United Debut Against Arsenal, Says Amorim

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says Leny Yoro is set to make his debut against Arsenal after recovering from injury.

Ruben Amorim, the newly appointed manager of Manchester United, has expressed his gratitude for the affection and warm welcome he has received from the club's fans. Since taking over from Erik ten Hag, Amorim has overseen two wins and one draw in his first three games in charge.

Despite his appreciation for the fans' enthusiasm, Amorim has revealed that he feels uncomfortable with the song that supporters have been singing about him. He has kindly requested that fans focus their attention on the players, rather than him, as he looks to build on the team's positive start under his leadership.

Ruben Amorim, the former Sporting Lisbon boss, has expressed his discomfort with the chant that Manchester United fans have been singing in his honor. The chant, set to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band's “Give it Up,” has been a vocal display of support for Amorim ahead of Wednesday's match against Arsenal.

Speaking on Monday, Amorim revealed his unease with the chant, stating: “I don't like my chant. I don't like it. I feel a little bit... not embarrassed, but because I'm the coach they have to chant for the players and for the club.” Amorim's humble response highlights his desire to shift the focus from himself to the team and the club.

“It's not a good thing for me. I understand and I really appreciate the connection with the supporters, but I want them to support the team and the players because they are on the pitch, I'm outside the pitch.

“But I am really honoured about that and I feel a connection with the supporters, but we know we need results to maintain that.”

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim revealed that he expects “special talent” Leny Yoro to be included in the squad for the first time against Arsenal on Wednesday. The 19-year-old French defender was signed by United in July for an initial fee of 62 million euros, but his debut has been delayed due to a metatarsal injury sustained in pre-season.

Amorim expressed his optimism about Yoro's readiness to join the squad, stating: “Maybe Leny Yoro is going to be in the squad. I felt that he is in a good moment now, his fitness is better, so I think he's going to be in the squad.” Yoro's potential inclusion in the squad is a significant boost for United as they prepare to face second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League.

“I think he's a special talent. We have to be careful in this first moment because we didn't have too many trainings together, so he is training not alone but with a small group of players.

“He's really fast, he's a modern defender, and that is good when you want to press high and you leave a lot of strikers, especially in this league, one against one. I think he can manage that.

“He is very good with the ball, so I am very excited.”

Manchester United, who have struggled at the Emirates in recent years, currently sit ninth in the Premier League standings, trailing the top four by four points.
