LENY YORO is flying to England for a medical after Lille accepted a £52m offer from Manchester United.
The Red Devils are ready to seal an impressive deal for the 18-year-old despite facing stiff competition from Real Madrid.
Yoro was believed to be in favor of a move to Spain.
But Atlético claims United have gone ahead after successfully submitting a bid worth £52m.
And Yoro is now on his way to Carrington for a medical before signing a lucrative contract.
The teenager appears to have undergone a major change of heart after initially focusing on the move away from the Bernabéu.
Real made Yoro their No. 1 choice to replace 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 appears to have been convinced by the project offered at Old Trafford.
Everything has changed behind the scenes, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos in charge of football operations.
