Paris Saint-Germain show interest in Manchester United defender

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in Manchester United defender Leny Yoro.

It has been reported by teamTALK's Graeme Bailey that the European champions are 'huge admirers' of the centre back who was signed by Manchester United for more than £50m in July 2024, fending off competition from Real Madrid.

The news will come as a shock to the Stretford End faithful, who've largely seen Yoro underwhelm in his two years at the club, making 56 Premier League appearance, 25 of which have been from the bench, failing to lock down a place in the heart of defence, occasionally falling to fifth in the pecking order.

But PSG reportedly remain keen on the 20-year-old, who impressed when making his France debut in the 4-1 win over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League.

With Jeremy Jacquet, Dayot Upamecano, Ibrahima Konate and William Saliba injured, Yoro made full advantage of a call-up, with talkSPORT reporting that PSG scouts were in attendance, keeping an eye on the United man.

It would likely take a sizeable bid to prise Yoro away from Manchester, however. Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire's contracts are up at the end of the season, while Matthijs de Ligt hasn't played since November 2025 owing to a back injury and cannot be relied upon.

It leaves Yoro and Ayden Heaven as the only two centre backs assured to be available next season, and with United likely needing to already reinforce their defence and attack in 12 months' time, United are unlikely to accept anything less than the £52m they paid two years ago.
