United continues to add young players
Yoro emerged as one of the brightest young talents in Europe after becoming a first-team regular at Lille.
The center-half made his senior debut as a 16-year-old at the end of the 2021-22 season.
Joining Yoro at Old Trafford is Joshua Zirkzee from Serie A club Bologna.
Zirkzee and Yoro replace forward Anthony Martial and defender Raphael Varane, who both departed the club earlier this summer.
