Shock report claims Leny Yoro has 'secret agreement' with Man Utd that could see him leave club in 2026

Leny Yoro has a 'secret agreement' that could allow him to leave Manchester United in 2026, a sensational new report has claimed.

Yoro joined United for a fee of £52.1 million from Ligue 1 side Lille earlier this summer.

United fended off interest from Real Madrid, PSG and Lyon to sign the coveted 18-year-old centre-back.

Fans will have to wait to see him in competitive action, though, as he suffered a metatarsal injury in pre-season that could keep him out until November.

But his displays early on in pre-season - including on his debut against Rangers last month - were hugely encouraging, and United fans are hoping he can slowly lead them back towards competing for the Premier League title.

But those ambitions may be cut down in two years' time, according to a new report.

Spanish outlet Defensa Central - who predominantly cover Real Madrid - claim that Yoro has not yet ruled out a move to Real at some point during his career.

They also allege that the 18-year-old has a verbal agreement with United that would allow him to move to the Bernabeu in 2026 should a fee of between €50 and €55 million be offered, and should Yoro want to leave Old Trafford.

It is worth noting that some sections of the Spanish media initially reported that Yoro had decided to join Real Madrid over any other club when he was still at Lille.

But the 18-year-old changed his mind - if he needed to change it at all - in moving to Old Trafford instead.

Speaking in his first interview after signing for United, Yoro didn't appear to want to be anywhere else: "Yeah, for me, this [the Premier League] is the biggest championship in the world.

"For me, the Premier League... this is where the football fully exists. So the fans, the level - because the level is crazy there, there is not an easy game. For me, the Premier League is the biggest in the world.

"I'm just really excited to play at Old Trafford, to be honest. This is a historic stage.

"I already imagined me on the pitch. I was with my family there, and they were impressed too. It's one of the biggest stadiums in the world. I'm really happy to be here."
