Leny Yoro is seriously considering his future at Manchester United after growing frustrated with his lack of playing time under manager Michael Carrick.
The 20-year-old French centre-back has played just 22 minutes of Premier League football this season, raising doubts about his long-term role at Old Trafford.
With Yoro open to considering new offers, European giants Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League rivals Arsenal have been placed on high alert.
Just 22 Minutes In Premier League Under Michael Carrick
Yoro joined Manchester United from Lille in the summer of 2024 for a hefty £58 million fee, choosing the Red Devils ahead of Real Madrid.
However, his second season in England has hit a massive roadblock.
New manager Michael Carrick has firmly preferred Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire as his starting central defensive pairing in a back four.
While Yoro featured heavily under former boss Ruben Amorim in a back three, he has now found himself frozen out of the Premier League starting lineup.
Man United Scouting New Center-Backs Upsets Yoro’s Camp
Yoro’s camp is also deeply concerned by Manchester United’s plans for upcoming transfer windows.
The club is already scouting new centre-backs for 2027, with Como’s young defender Jacobo Ramon and Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite on their radar.
Yoro’s representatives see this as a clear message that United are preparing to rebuild their defence without the Frenchman at the centre of it.
Both sides are scheduled to sit down for talks in the coming weeks to clarify Yoro’s standing in Carrick’s squad.
PSG Lead Transfer Race As Arsenal Emerge As Serious Contenders
If Yoro decides to push for a move, he will not be short of elite options.
Paris Saint-Germain hold the strongest interest in the defender, having tracked him closely during his breakthrough years in Ligue 1.
Arsenal have also surprisingly emerged as a serious Premier League club to watch, with Mikel Arteta keen to add more world-class young depth to his backline.
Other European heavyweights, including Chelsea, Barcelona, and AC Milan, are also monitoring the situation closely.
What Comes Next For Manchester United And Yoro?
Yoro still has a long-term contract at Old Trafford that runs until June 2029.
United officials maintain that Yoro has immense talent and can still fight to win his place back under Carrick.
However, if the 20-year-old continues to warm the bench, United could be tempted to sell him for a big fee to fund their own transfer targets next summer.
