Leny Yoro looked out of his depth against Bournemouth, as Ruben Amorim & his men fought a tough 4-4 draw.
A Rough Night For A Leny Yoro
Man United vs Bournemouth ended up in a thrilling 4-4 draw at Old Trafford. The Red Devils led the game three times but failed to close it out. Meanwhile, the Cherries hit back on every occasion. Though the match had drama and goals, the spotlight fell harshly on Leny Yoro. The 20-year-old defender struggled to find his feet and never looked settled.
Yoro was asked to juggle roles throughout the night. At times he played on the right of a back three, then shifted wide into a back four. That constant switching showed. He lost his marker more than once and looked unsure when stepping out or holding the line.
For a young player still learning the pace of the PL, clarity matters. He was taken off after 69 minutes, and by then the damage was already done.
Handling From Ruben Amorim Adds To The Problem
Ruben Amorim’s recent calls have not helped Yoro’s cause. The boss left him out of the starting eleven in the previous two league games. That broke any rhythm the defender was trying to build. Throwing him back in under pressure, and in a changing system, felt like a gamble that backfired.
One week he is watching from the bench, the next he is given a complex role in a high-scoring match. That can knock confidence fast, especially at a club where every mistake is magnified.
Amorim has already faced criticism for how he has used other young players. Now, Yoro’s case adds fuel to that fire. Talent is clear, but development needs patience. A hand of support might do more right now than another tactical test.
Author’s opinion:
Yoro has the tools to succeed, but Amorim must simplify his role. The head coach needs to show trust before the damage becomes long term.
