EPL: ‘Stop playing him there’ – Neville sends message to Carrick over Yoro’s position

Manchester United legend, Gary Neville, has sent a message to manager Michael Carrick regarding defender Leny Yoro’s position in his squad.

Speaking on The Overlap, Neville urged Carrick to stop deploying the 20-year-old Frenchman as a right-back for Man United.

Carrick had played Yoro as a right-back during Man United’s Premier League draw at Everton last weekend.

“I don’t think Yoro understands right-back, which is fine, a lot of centre-backs don’t,” Neville said on The Overlap.

“But we have got to stop bringing him on there and thinking he is a right-back.

“My feeling is Michael [Carrick] may see him as a more defensive right-back option.”
