Amorim seeks to bring former United defender Yoro to AC Milan
Evening Standard reports that Ruben Amorim was dismissed by Manchester United in January after a contentious press conference following a 1‑1 draw with Leeds United . Evening Standard reports that Manchester United’s current head coach Michael Carrick prefers the centre‑back pairing of Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire . Evening Standard reports that injuries have forced Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu out, with right‑backs Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui shifted to left‑back . Evening Standard reports that Yoro made 53 of his 74 appearances for United under Amorim and this term has been utilised both at the heart of defence and as a makeshift right‑back . Evening Standard reports that Amorim is interested in reuniting with the 20‑year‑old French defender Yoro by signing him for AC Milan to plug defensive gaps caused by injuries to Mattia Gabbia and Mario Gila .
Why it matters. If the transfer proceeds, Yoro could provide AC Milan with defensive cover for the injured Gabbia and Gila, according to Evening Standard .
