Man United's Yoro Vows Revenge After 'Mistake' of Last Season

Leny Yoro says Manchester United 's players are on a “revenge” mission following their worst Premier League finish last season. United ended last term in 15th place, their lowest position of the Premier League era and worst since the 1973-74 campaign, when they were relegated.

Defender Yoro knows United's rivals want to see them fail again, but said Ruben Amorim 's players are determined to prove they are way better than last season's woeful showing.

“When you play for Manchester United , you need to have the mindset of being the best version of yourself,” said Yoro. “I think what we did last season was a mistake for us.

"When you're Manchester United, you cannot be at this position. The fans know it, everyone knows it. I think we understand this. This season will be different for us. It will be like a revenge from last season.

“We're a big club. There are a lot of people who want us to fail and we know that. But there are also a lot of people that want us to do it, to do great things.

“We just focus on the fans, you know. We don't care about what they say outside - everyone said bull**** about us last year.

“But I understand, because we didn’t do really well, but this season will be different, I hope, for us. We don't need to listen to this and just be focused on ourselves. All of the players in the dressing-room have a lot of quality. I think we need to mix it together and try to do our best.”

United won the Premier League Summer Series in the US with wins over West Ham , Bournemouth and a 2-2 draw in their final game against Everton in Atlanta.

“We had a good tour,” said Yoro. “We didn't lose. We know we can do better, but it's still the pre-season, there are still some things to improve.

"I think we can be happy with what we did during this tour. I think mentally everyone is ready. We still have one game against Fiorentina to prepare for the new season. But the mindset of the team is to be ready for the first game, ready for the season. I think we are working and training for this, even in the game.”

Yoro, 19, reckons United have the right blend of youth and experience and said players like him can benefit from the wisdom of older members like skipper Bruno Fernandes .

“I think in the dressing-room it's important to have some older players to, like, manage the team,” said Yoro. "It's important to have this in the dressing-room, to have a good mindset. You can have some players that sometimes make some mistakes or things like this. These players, they are here to help keep the group strong.”
