1) Yoro nearly signed with a Manchester United rival as a youngster

The defender was in Lille’s U16s team but was promoted to play for the U19s due to his quality as a youngster.

Playing in his first game for the U19s, Yoro impressed so much that both Liverpool and Monaco wanted to sign him, however, no deal was ever done.


The 18-year-old now finds himself playing for Liverpool’s bitter rivals Manchester United.
