Manchester United’s new defender and former Lille star Leny Yoro is ready for a new chapter with United in the Premier League.
According to reports, the 18-year-old has reportedly purchased a £2m property in Cheshire, formerly owned by Manchester United Academy graduate Mason Greenwood.
Greenwood, who completed a move to French club, Olympique Marseille, put up the £2m-worth property for sale long before he agreed terms with the Ligue 1 side for a move to the French top flight.
Greenwood’s decision to sell the property became imperative after it was clear he will not continue his career with Manchester United despite a roaring return to footballing action after the rape saga which grounded his career for 18 months.
With the English winger completing a £30m move to Màrseille and set for a fresh chapter in the French top flight, Leny Yoro, moved in the opposite direction, joining Manchester United from Lille. Now, it appears the French center-back has settled fast for the next exciting challenge at Manchester United.
According to The Sun, he has purchased Mason Greenwood’s £2m-worth property in Cheshire. The property, reportedly located a few miles away from Manchester United training base at Carrington, is a comfy living space for footballers.
