Manchester United have spoken with French side Lille about one of their promising talents.

The Red Devils are said to have inquired about the possibility of signing highly-rated center-back Leny Yoro.

Per Le10Sport, United are hoping to steal a march on their rivals to sign Yoro.

Given Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS own Lille and now have a stake in Manchester United, there is a connection.

United could use those ties to get a quick deal done before other teams can react.

However, the ultimate decision about where he plays football would come down to Yoro.
