Erik ten Hag's renewed rivalry with Liverpool manager Arne Slot this season after his Manchester United stay will draw plenty of interest. And the Red Devils manager has already got one over his former Dutch Eredivisie foe by seemingly winning the race to sign Lille defender Leny Yoro.
United are reportedly set to seal a £52million deal for Yoro once he completes his medical on Wednesday and signs a five-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months.
INEOS look to have made a major statement by beating rival interest from Liverpool and European champions Real Madrid to secure his signature.

Slot is yet to make his first signing as Liverpool boss, but there is Champions League football on offer at Anfield this season after a third-place Premier League finish.
United will compete in the Europa League after winning the FA Cup in May, previously missing out on Europe altogether by finishing eighth.
Liverpool's interest, only to see one of their biggest rivals land Yoro, is a bitter blow at the start of Slot's reign, especially amid concerns over Virgil van Dijk's future.
The 33-year-old's contract expires next summer, and he will be one of multiple players weighing up their futures after Jurgen Klopp's exit.
