In a bold move to reshape Manchester United's playing style, manager Ruben Amorim is sending a clear message to young defender Leny Yoro: embrace your adventurous spirit on the ball.

Having joined the Red Devils from Lille for approximately £52 million, the 19-year-old has yet to make his debut due to a lengthy injury sustained during preseason. However, Yoro is back in training and is working closely with Amorim to prepare for his long-awaited return to action.

During a recent training session that saw Yoro positioned as a right-sided centre-back in Amorim's preferred three-center-back system, the manager took the opportunity to impart his vision. As reported by The Athletic, Amorim encouraged Yoro to expand his play: “Pull wide and be more open, take the ball, and remember that the opponent can’t press from behind here.”

Yoro is widely acknowledged as one of the brightest young defensive talents, having famously turned down an offer from Real Madrid to join Manchester United. His combination of pace, power, and ball-playing ability aligns seamlessly with Amorim's tactical philosophy, creating high expectations for him within the squad as he settles into the manager’s regular 3-4-3 formation.

The excitement doesn’t end there. Amorim was also spotted engaging with Japanese midfielder Kobbie Mainoo during training, offering tailored advice on how to effectively receive the ball. He emphasized the importance of retaining possession, noting, “The problem is with the ball. We lose it too quickly. You can't apply high pressure all the time; instead, maintaining possession allows for better pressing opportunities.”

Amorim's approach reflects a comprehensive strategy aimed at enhancing team fluidity. He contended that securing ball possession enables the team to push higher up the pitch, creating a snowball effect: “If you don’t lose the ball, you can push higher. If you’re higher, you can press better. Everything is interconnected.”

As United prepares for an intense Premier League campaign, fan expectations soar. With Amorim at the helm and imbued with a fresh tactical mindset, supporters eagerly anticipate the emergence of not just Yoro, but the collective evolution of the team under this promising new leadership. Will this be the season that Manchester United reclaims their position among the elite of English football? Only time will tell, but the foundations are certainly being laid for a thrilling ride!
