Manchester United eye Como defender as Arsenal and PSG monitor Yoro’s future
At 20, centre‑back Jacobo Ramon of Como has become Manchester United’s leading target, with Man Utd’s scouting network reportedly eyeing him to address defensive concerns after Leny Yoro’s uncertain future at Old Trafford. The interest follows recent United are actively seeking centre‑back reinforcements, and that a move for Ramon could materialise before the summer window closes.
Arsenal and PSG show interest
Arsenal and Paris Saint‑Germain have emerged as the most vocal suitors, according to the same source. One name that surfaced early was Arsenal, confirming the club’s interest. “PSG have the strongest interest, and that dates back to Yoro’s time in France. But from within the Premier League, Arsenal could also be a serious option to watch,” the insider explained. Their interest reflects the broader Europe’s top clubs focus on United’s defensive reshuffle.
Sources close to United have begun to doubt Yoro’s long‑term role, suggesting his place at Old Trafford is under threat. A reliable insider said, “Leny Yoro is concerned about his role, there’ll be talks soon to clarify the situation, but clubs have taken this as a clear message that he’s ready to consider offers.” The same source added that the club’s focus on a new defender underscores the uncertainty surrounding the 20‑year‑old.

Yoro, who arrived from Lille two years ago, was listed among top clubs’ targets while at the French side. Despite his youth, he has already featured under three different managers at United, a factor that may hinder his development. Chelsea, Barcelona and AC Milan have also been mentioned as admirers, although their interest has reportedly cooled.
Ruben Amorim, now at Sporting CP, was previously a noted fan of Yoro, but his departure leaves Michael Carrick in charge of defensive decisions. Carrick’s camp maintains that Yoro can still compete for a place, yet other insiders suggest the player has struggled to settle at the club.
European clubs keep watch
Across Europe, several top clubs are monitoring United’s situation, with the Frenchman’s unsettled status prompting speculation about a possible move. The situation is a classic hit‑or‑miss scenario for United’s transfer strategy. As transfer windows approach, United’s pursuit of Ramon signals a willingness to reshape the back line.
