In the second game of preseason, Manchester United played against the Soviet Premier League giants Glasgow Rangers. The outcome of this game is not the most concerned, and the outside world is concerned about Yoro, who has just joined for a transfer fee of 70 million. The 18-year-old has been involved in the team's training sessions since joining and was named to the starting line-up by Ten Hag. On the one hand, it is important for this new signing, and on the other hand, it is also desperate for Yoro to integrate into the team as soon as possible and play a major role in the back line in the new season.

In the end, United won 2-0 and Yoro delivered an excellent answer after 45 minutes on the pitch. In the first half, Yoro made 45 successful passes out of 48 attempts, a 92 per cent success rate. He also had one successful ground duel, one clearance, one tackle, four successful long balls and four lost possession.

Judging from the data, Yoro's most impressive thing is undoubtedly his ability to play the ball, which is also in line with the previous evaluation of the outside world. In fact, Yoro was notable for his passing prowess in Ligue 1 last season, with his 92 per cent pass completion rate ranking second in the Lille squad and third in Ligue 1. In addition to his ability to pass the ball, Yoro also showed other qualities in this game.

Although he is only 18 years old, Yoro has been a noticeable teenager, handling the ball well, playing with decisiveness and precision, excellent defensive awareness and a strong sense of position. And the speed is not slow, the ability to compete for the top is strong, and he is a proper world-class central defender. The only shortcoming may be his physical confrontation ability, and his thin body still needs to be tested in the Premier League, but he is only 18 years old after all. Talent is innate, but the body can be trained. If there is no accident, Yoro and Lima will be Manchester United's central defensive partners in the new season, and this pair is paired with Onana, Manchester United's defense will directly "take off"!

As we all know, Ten Hag has always emphasized the importance of the ball at the back since he took charge of Manchester United, but he has never been able to achieve the effect he expected, and a very important reason is that the configuration of the players does not meet his requirements. Maguire's ability to play the ball is good, but there are obvious shortcomings, such as slow speed and inflexible turning; Varane works best with Varane, but "Xueba" has injury concerns and cannot be used as a long-term regular partner.

At the end of the season, Raphael Varane left at the end of his contract and Joro was dubbed the 'new Varane', a centre-back pair that would surely be the cornerstone of United's rebuild. Lima's performance in the Copa America is telling, conceding a total of one goal in five starts. He averaged 1.2 tackles, 1 interception, and 2.6 clearances per game, with a pass completion rate of 92%. Lima's ability to play the ball is top-notch, and Yoro is also quite good, with two central defenders who are good at playing the ball and Onana forming a triangle at the back, and the foundation of the ball system is built.

Although he failed to get De Jong, Menou also grew. The youngster's style of play is also steady, taking the ball, getting rid of it, pushing forward, transporting, he is the "new De Jong" cultivated by Ten Hag. In addition, Ugarte is also close to joining, and Manchester United's midfield defensive ability has improved. The forward line signed Zirkze to compete with Hojlen, and Amad Diallo's improvement is visible to the naked eye. If two more wing-backs can be strengthened, Manchester United's new season is definitely promising!
