Leny Yoro revealed that part of the reason behind the joining to Manchester United was the motivation to recover them in former glory by bringing trophies back to Old Trafford.
The young French defender posted an impressive display when Ruben Amorim Athletic Club defeated 4-1 to continue later this month to the Europa League final.
United is put in 15th place in the Premier League after what a echoing campaign has been where they are rooted to the lower half of the table almost the entire season.
Yoro was very sought after in the summer and had Europe's elite clubs, including Real Madrid, who desperately chased his signature before he signed for Manchester United.
After a difficult start of life under Amorim, Yoro now becomes a huge player for this wrestling side and despite being only 19 years old, he quickly becomes a leader.
“I'm still a young player, but on the field this means nothing,” he said.
'If you become a member of a large club such as Manchester United, you have to settle for a pleasure because the fans are waiting for you, even with a large transfer like me. So yes, it was important to establish very quickly.
'If you play for Manchester United, you have to feel this [history] – This is a club of trophies.
“I think it will be important to think about this, we are Manchester United and have to win trophies.”
Yoro has cemented himself in the rear three since the season of Lisandro Martinez was demolished by injuries and there are several people to thank for his recovery in shape, not the least former Aas Rio Ferdinand.
“I speak a lot with the coach and I spoke with Rio and not always in front of the cameras,” Yoro explained.
'Sometimes they just give me advice. When a player like Rio can give you advice, you have to take it. I try to do my best and what they tell me to do. '
Yoro said about comparisons with Ferdinand: 'I come to Man United to reach big things, to win trophies, so if you see players like Rio Ferdinand, Vidic, Varane, you want to achieve the same things as she, stay in the memory of fans and be a big defender.
'If they compare me with them, it is a real honor, I am proud of this. I try to be as good as possible. '
