  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Out of all the targets on Man United's shortlist, Yoro is perhaps the most appealing. At 18, he is already operating at an incredibly high level and getting a deal over the line could set the club up defensively for the next decade at least.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Yoro made 32 appearances in the French top flight last season, scoring twice and keeping 15 clean sheets as Lille finished fourth. With his contract set to expire in 2025, he may be about to get the biggest move of his career.

With Real Madrid and Liverpool also interested, the Red Devils may have to act fast if they are to beat the others to his signature.
