Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has given his seal of approval to new signing Leny Yoro, stating that the 18-year-old Frenchman won’t be intimidated by his hefty £52million price tag.

Yoro made his debut for United in their 2-0 pre-season friendly win over Rangers on Saturday, playing the first half and impressing Onana with his composure on the ball.

Onana, who also made his first appearance of pre-season against Rangers, believes that Yoro will settle in quickly at United and become a key player for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Yoro gave a good account of himself against Rangers, and Onana was impressed with the Frenchman’s composure in possession. Speaking to Sky Sports, Onana said: “When you have the opportunity to be a Manchester United player, that’s when you have a lot of quality. He already showed this in the first half. Great guy, very young player. Good on the ball. We will enjoy him this season.”

Onana also stressed that Yoro will have the support of the team, saying: “He will be alright because we have very good scouts here, so if they made him come, that means he has a lot of quality. We are here to help him, no matter what is going on. Us as leaders, he’s a young player, we’re going to give him time.”

Yoro made 60 appearances for Lille and has also represented France at Under-21 level. United have made a busy start to the transfer window, also bringing in forward Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna for £36.5million.
