Leny Yoro is flying to England for a medical after Lille accepted a £52million bid from Manchester United.

The Red Devils are ready to close a stunning deal for the 18-year-old despite facing fierce competition from Real Madrid.

Yoro was thought to favour a move to Spain.

But The Athletic claims United have stormed ahead after successfully submitting an offer worth £52m.

And Yoro is now on his way to Carrington for a medical before striking personal terms on a lucrative contract.

The teen appears to have had a major change of heart after initially setting his sights on a Bernabeu switch.

Real made Yoro their No1 choice to replace outgoing veteran Nacho Fernandez.

And with the youngster out of contract next summer, they were even prepared to wait a year before landing him on a free transfer.

But Yoro now looks to have been convinced by the project on offer at Old Trafford.

It’s been all change behind the scenes, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos in charge of football operations.
