Leny Yoro: Lille defender flying to UK for Manchester United medical after £50m deal agreed
Lille's player Leny Yoro is heading to the United Kingdom to undergo medical tests with Manchester United, following the finalization of a deal worth more than £50 million.
Man Utd have reached a tentative agreement on personal terms with the 18-year-old.
People believed that the French footballer preferred Real Madrid, but Manchester United have been putting effort into persuading him to come to their team.

There is more to be done before the deal is final, but Man Utd is feeling positive about their chances of completing it.
Everton still have interest in Jarrad Branthwaite, a defender, and Matthijs de Ligt of Bayern Munich. They could be potential signings if the club has enough money and room in the squad as the transfer window progresses.
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag has the opportunity to bring in two new central defenders this summer after the departures of Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala. If more players leave, the chances of signing two defenders will go up.
Yoro's transfer is causing some trouble for Lille, as he only has one year left on his contract and will be able to negotiate with foreign clubs starting in January.
Yoro played in 41 games for the Ligue 1 team last season and managed to score three goals.
Greenwood Approved For Marseille Medical Exam
Marseille are getting closer to finalizing an agreement to bring Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood to their team.
The player and the club have reach an agreement in principle, and the 22-year-old has been cleared to have a medical examination.
The French team in Ligue 1 and Manchester United reached a agreement valued at £26.5 million (€31.6 million) earlier this week.
United also have a substantial clause that entitles them to a percentage of any future sale, estimated to be between 40 to 50 percent.
Greenwood is now the one who will make the ultimate choice on whether or not he will move to Roberto De Zerbi's team.
Lazio also made an offer for the striker but it seems they are now focusing on different players.
Fulham Considering Second Offer For McTominay
Fulham is still talking about making another offer for Manchester United player Scott McTominay.
Insiders have informed Sky Sports News that Manchester United turned down an offer of £17 million from Fulham at the beginning of this summer.
The player from Scotland was the main choice for Fulham to take the place of Joao Palhinha last year, and now Palhinha has moved to Bayern this month.
Tottenham's Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg and Fluminense's Andre are both being considered as potential choices for Marco Silva's team.
McTominay is getting attention from Galatasaray and United could receive offers from Saudi Arabia for Casemiro.
While United is not currently trying to sell, they may be willing to consider serious offers. They are currently in discussions with Paris Saint-Germain regarding midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
When Does The Summer Transfer Window End?
The summer transfer window for 2024 will officially end on August 30th at 11pm in the UK for the Premier League, and 11.30pm in Scotland.
The Premier League has moved up Deadline Day to align with the top leagues in Europe. The decision to set the closing dates came after talks with the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France.
