Leny Yoro sheds new light on Marcus Rashford's Man Utd exit with Ruben Amorim admission

Leny Yoro has revealed how Ruben Amorim warned his Manchester United squad that he won’t tolerate lazy players - after banishing Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa. Yoro, signed from Lille for £52million in the summer, says the United boss has made it clear that anyone who fails to put the work in will not have a future under him at Old Trafford. Rashford became the first player to find out the hard way when Amorim sanctioned his departure from the club the striker has supported all his life when Villa came in with an offer to take him on loan.

And Yoro, appearing on the Rio Ferdinand Presents Podcast, presented by Qatar Airways, said: “I have a good relationship with Ruben Amorim. I just try to do what he asks me to do. “He's big on communication with the players because he played at a top level. He’s been at a lot of clubs, so he knows your feelings when you're not playing or when you have a bad game. He knows how to speak with you, and that’s really important for me.

“In training, it's really, I would say, hard. But it's important. We have a lot of training and, for him, training is really important because you play the game like you train. “The most important thing is to be really good in training. If you are not working, if you are lazy in training, he won't like you - he'll kill you! It's normal because, yeah, you play like you train. “He’s really strict on this because, to win games and trophies, you need to be disciplined outside the pitch. You need to be punctual.”Yoro, the teenage French defender who has himself had a tough time settling in at Old Trafford after arriving from Lille in the summer, also admitted that he is so desperate to prove his worth for the Reds that he now has his own personal analyst to give him information on opposition strikers.

Yoro, the teenage French defender who has struggled to settle in Manchester after being sidelined by injury in his first few months at the club, has been employing the services of an analyst to give him information on opposition strikers. But the 19-year-old confessed he has been feeling the pressure so much that he avoids social media. Yoro said: “We have a group on WhatsApp. With all the defenders, they send clips of the strikers, their movements, their runs.

“I have one person who's doing really a lot of clips on the striker for me to know. I would say the intelligence, you know, to understand the game - you know, how the players, how they press, how they move. All these things, with the clips outside of the pitch, you know, learning the game. “I felt pressure, man. Like, when I went anywhere, I thought everybody was talking about the price tag and expectations. But my safe place was the training ground, on the pitch.

“I come to United for a big price, so yeah, the pressure is here. People speak a lot, and today, social media is really in our lives, you know. “Every day, you go to social media, you can see your name - for good news or sometimes for bad news. But yeah, when I go to the training ground with the team-mates, you know, I just forget everything. Just go on the pitch and train, take pleasure. “I don't search my name on Twitter or Instagram, so I don’t even see my name on social media.

“I try not to see, even if it's good. If I see something good, of course, maybe my confidence will increase a little bit. "But if I see something bad, it's just like this. I cannot change anything, so it doesn’t change a lot of my confidence.”. Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
