- French defender joined Red Devils in 2024
- Statistical quirk endured across 13 months
- الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز giants searching for spark
Sleeping giants at Old Trafford continue to find it infuriatingly difficult to wake from their slumber. Erik ten Hag paid the price for failing in that task when being relieved of his managerial duties in October 2024. The reins were passed a couple of weeks later to Portuguese tactician Ruben Amorim, who had been impressing in his homeland with Sporting. Just 16 wins have been picked up from 44 games since then.
French defender Yoro has figured in 23 Premier League fixtures for متحد since completing a transfer to إنجلترا من ليل in the summer of 2024. His record across those outings proves how difficult the Red Devils have been finding it to generate positive results.
Yoro’s latest appearance came in a 1-1 draw at فولهام, with the 19-year-old missing out on his first Premier League goal as a close-range header at Craven Cottage ultimately went down as a Rodrigo Muniz own goal.
Stalemate in west London means that Yoro is yet to start a victory for the Red Devils over a current top-flight club. His only successes to date when figuring from the off came in wins over ساوثهامبتون و إيبسويتش – who were both relegated at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
United will be hoping that statistical quirk is snapped when playing host to newly-promoted بيرنلي on Saturday. A testing return to action after the first international break of the 2025-26 season will see Amorim’s side take in a ديربي date with arch-rivals City on September 14 and a home date with تشيلسي.
