Yoro in an interview with the club’s official website, said that his 10 minutes conversation with the former England international played a key role in convincing him to choose Man United.
“It was like two weeks ago [when I first spoke to Rio Ferdinand],” Leny said as quoted by Man United’s website. “He called me.
“First of all, I was really impressed to speak with him and, yeah, we spoke for like 10 minutes about Man United, so he helped me a lot to make my choice. It was really an honour to speak with him.”
