Liverpool fans are all blaming the same person for Leny Yoro signing for Manchester United instead of them.

According to the Athletic, Yoro is flying to the UK from Lille to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms with United. An agreement is said to have been agreed between the two clubs on an initial £52million fee was reached last week.

Yoro, however, originally wanted to join Real Madrid but has allegedly warmed to the idea of moving to Old Trafford.

Lille had strongly favoured that the 18-year-old sign a contract with United, given they would rather sell this summer than risk losing him as a free agent when his contract expires next year.

And a contingent of Liverpool fans, who are frustrated at missing out on Yoro to United, have directed their fury at chief executive Michael Edwards.

Writing on X, formally Twitter, said: “Michael Edwards 3 months into the job: Offered Adrian a contract & got rejected. Brought his pals into the club so it’s good jolly up every day. Fail to lock Trent down to a new contract. Lose out on Califiori. Lose out on Yoro to Manchester United (not in CL). Well done Edwards, absolutely ‘generational’.”

A second said: “‘Michael Edwards moves in silence’. Yeah, he moved so silently that he forgot to speak with the best upcoming CB on the planet.”

A third wrote: “The team that finished 8th and plays Europa League football just convinced one of the best CB prospects ever to join them. Thank you Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes for bringing shame to the city of Liverpool.”

A fourth said: “Has Michael Edwards actually started his job yet? Windows been open nearly three weeks and not even a sniff of signing anyone, literally every other club in the league has been signing players.”

A fifth added: “Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes are already on fraud watch lmao.”
