Erik ten Hag has been keen to address last season’s dismal Premier League finish and is being heavily backed in the transfer market with incomings and the shifting of players deemed not good enough.
The 18-year-old, described as a generational talent, was unveiled as United’s newest addition on Thursday and reported for a first pre-season training session the next day as he met his team-mates for the first time.
Arriving at the club’s Carrington headquarters on Friday morning, Yoro was greeted by midfielder Mason Mount as the pair headed indoors to report for duty.
