I was really pleased to see 19-year-old French Centre Back, Leny Yoro score his first goal for United, but even more pleased when he could be seen to obviously give praise to God.<\/p>\n<p>From the tattoo of a Cross on his neck I had assumed that he was a Christian, but it was good to have this confirmed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I read in <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thickaccent.com\"><strong>www.thickaccent.com<\/strong><\/a><strong> that: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leny\u2019s mother is a devoted Christian, and she instilled the values of Christianity in her sons. She currently lives in Villeneuve-d\u2019Ascq according to her Facebook profile.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lepopulaire.fr\/limoges-87000\/football\/tournoi-lafarge-foot-avenir-de-limoges-a-la-decouverte-de-la-pepite-leny-yoro_14190468\/\">Le Populaire<\/a>, Yoro\u2019s father is the former Lille player, Alain Yoro. Senior Yoro played for the reserve team of Lille in the late \u201980s and \u201990s. In the late 90s, he moved to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thickaccent.com\/tag\/psg\/\">Paris Saint Germain<\/a>, where he played as a forward. His jersey number 15 is the reason why Leny chose to play with that number despite being offered to wear numbers 4 and 5, the traditional numbers for a central defender.<\/p>\n<p>Alain is of Ivorian descent, hence Leny Yoro will be eligible to play for the Ivory Coast as well, putting him in the French-African ethnic group. Leny had already made his debuts for France U17, U18, U19, U21 and U23 teams, where he worked closely with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thickaccent.com\/tag\/Thierry-Henry\/\">Thierry Henry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yoro has a holy cross sign on his social account and \u2018God Made\u2019, \u2018God\u2019s child\u2019, \u2018God\u2019s kid\u2019 and \u2018God did\u2019 are written on his bio.
