"The 19-year-old started in defence for the Red Devils in a 2-0 win against Sunderland on Saturday, but 24 hours later was wearing a Lille shirt and jeans on the pitch at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. It is common in the French top-flight for clubs to do a ceremonial kick-off before their matches, similar to a first pitch in baseball. The match officially started when former Arsenal and France striker Olivier Giroud got the game under way, with Lille going on to earn a 1-1 draw."
""It is great to have you with us tonight, Leny.""

Leny Yoro returned to Lille to take part in a ceremonial kick-off at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy before Lille's Ligue 1 match against Paris St-Germain, wearing a Lille shirt and jeans. Yoro had started for Manchester United in a 2-0 win over Sunderland the previous day. Ceremonial kick-offs are a common French top-flight tradition. The match officially began when Olivier Giroud started play and ended in a 1-1 draw. Yoro made 46 league appearances for Lille before completing a £52m move to Manchester United in July 2024 and then joined France under-21s on duty.
