Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has stated that the team is seeking “revenge” after a season he described as the worst in over 50 years.
The fifteenth place in the Premier League table was the lowest for the team in the top flight since their relegation to the second division in 1974.
Rubén Amorim’s team has had a positive preseason in America, with two wins and a draw against West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton.
The players and coaching staff have returned to Manchester for final preparations before the start of the new Premier League season.
Before Arsenal’s visit to Old Trafford on August 17, Yoro insisted that this season “will be different” from last year’s disappointing campaign.
“When you play for Manchester United, you need to have the mentality to be the best version of yourself,” said Yoro.

“I think what we did last season was a mistake for us. When you are Manchester United, you can’t be in this position. The fans know it, everyone knows it. I think we understand this.”

After spending more than £130 million ($172.7 million) to sign Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo this summer, United are under pressure to start the season well.“This season will be different for us. It will be like a rematch of last season. We need to do better.”

“We are a big club,” said Yoro. “There are many people who want us to fail and we know it. But there are also many people who want us to succeed, to do great things. We only focus on the fans, you know.”

“We don’t care what they say outside, about the media, everyone said nonsense about us last year.”

“But I understand why we didn’t do very well. This season will be different, I hope for us. We don’t need to hear this and just focus on ourselves.”
