Revealed: Yoro's number
Leny Yoro will wear no.15 at Manchester United
Saturday 20 July 2024 14:00
The club can confirm that new signing Leny Yoro will wear the no.15 shirt for Manchester United.
The defender, who joined the Reds from French side Lille on Thursday, could make his very first appearance for the 20-times champions of England later today (Saturday), when Erik ten Hag's men take on Rangers.
You can watch the game live on MUTV from 15:00 BST, with kick-off at 16:00 BST.
Yoro wore the no.15 during his stint with Lille in Ligue Un and, happily, the Old Trafford equivalent has lain vacant since Sergio Reguilon's loan spell came to a conclusion in January.
Another loanee, Marcel Sabitzer, held the shirt before Reguilon, while its last permanent holder was Academy graduate Andreas Pereira, who left to join Fulham in 2022.
Other names to have donned 15 include Adnan Januzaj and Daley Blind.
Undoubtedly the most iconic Red to inhabit the shirt is Nemanja Vidic, who made it his own during eight brilliant, bruising years in Manchester.
The Serb became synonymous with the number, much like Roy Keane did with no.16, and every United fan will hope that 18-year-old Yoro can have his own positive impact on the club in the years to come.
To find out whether Yoro starts in Edinburgh, tune in to MUTV at 15:00 BST for live build-up to the game.
