Leny Yoro applauds during a Manchester United match under Ruben Amorim
Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has hailed Ruben Amorim’s leadership and commitment to rebuilding a winning culture at Old Trafford. The French centre-back praised the Portuguese manager for his firm approach in eliminating “bad energy” from the dressing room and ensuring that only players with the right mentality remain at the club.
Since taking charge, Ruben Amorim has been vocal about improving the culture within the Manchester United squad — focusing on discipline, unity, and professionalism over star power.
In his first few months, Amorim made several bold moves that sent shockwaves through the football world. High-profile players including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony were sidelined due to attitude issues, with some eventually shipped out on loan.
While these decisions raised eyebrows, they have since proven instrumental in reshaping United’s team spirit and restoring focus within the camp.
Speaking to reporters, Yoro stressed how crucial the club’s renewed emphasis on character has been for team chemistry and long-term success.
“The character is really important, for the atmosphere of the team also,” Yoro said. “I think the club is doing well with this — to take only people who can bring good things to the team. We don’t want any bad things in the team.
“It’s really important for us. Try to be focused on the team. Don’t do any drama. Just speak with everyone, have a good relation. This is the best for the team. We cannot build something with bad energy or bad characters. I think the club is doing well with this.”
Yoro’s comments reflect the growing harmony at United since Amorim’s arrival — with players buying into his vision of accountability, respect, and unity above ego.
In a humorous twist, Yoro also used the press conference to clear up a long-standing myth — that he was named after American rock legend Lenny Kravitz.
“No, that’s not true,” he laughed. “My mother wanted something for the media. She liked Lenny Kravitz, but she didn’t take his name. It’s just storytelling for the media.”
Under Amorim’s leadership, Manchester United appear to be moving toward a new identity — one built not just on individual brilliance but collective discipline and positive energy.
For players like Leny Yoro, the transformation has been refreshing. And for fans, it signals a potential return to the values that once defined the Red Devils: respect, hard work, and unity.
