Ruben Amorim 'eyes Manchester United reunion' as AC Milan target star

AC, former Milan manager Amorim wants to reunite with Yoro, the 20-year-old defender who featured regularly under him at United before losing his place under Carrick.

AC Milan are targeting Manchester United defender Leny Yoro, according to reports. The 20-year-old French international has become a bit-part player at Old Trafford under current manager Michael Carrick, with Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire preferred as the main centre-back pairing. However, Yoro was a regular starter under Carrick's predecessor Ruben Amorim, playing 53 of his 74 United appearances under the Portuguese manager.

Amorim, now in charge at AC Milan, is keen to bring Yoro to the San Siro as he looks to address defensive injuries to Mattia Gabbia and Mario Gila. Yoro has been deployed both at centre-back and as a makeshift right-back this season due to injuries to Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu. Milan are also considering Bayern Munich's Kim Min-Jae and Goncalo Inacio, another former Amorim player from his time at Sporting Lisbon.
