However, before a move for another centre-back was even discussed, journalist Ben Jacobs shared what the Reds said to Yoro and why he eventually chose to join Man United over Slot’s men.“He didn’t go to Liverpool, but it’s fascinating because the Man United pitch was ‘if you join us you’re playing every week, you’re going to be an instant hit,'” he said on The United Stand Podcast. He got injured instantly, and he’s still kind of growing into that role and that ability to start week in week out.“Liverpool said to Yoro, ‘If we sign you, you’re going to have to be patient for two years.
