Thierry Henry has taken aim at Manchester United’s woeful defending against Newcastle and highlighte a moment from Leny Yoro which he had ‘never seen before’ in football.

Alejandro Garnacho had earlier dragge United back into the contest with a compose finish to cancel out Sandro Tonali’s opener, but that was as good as it got for the visitors on Tyneside.
The defeat leaves United strande down in 14th place in the table and means the club will end this season with their worst ever points tally in Premier League history, even if they win all six of their remaining matches.

Former United captain Roy Keane rippe into United’s lackadaisical defending in the north east, picking out Diogo Dalot and Altay Bayindir with some especially scathing criticism.
Featuring as a guest on Monday Night Football, legendary ex-Arsenal striker Henry instead chose to single out Yoro, encouraging viewers to watch the young centre-back’s bizarre body language after Barnes’ second goal.
Considering Barnes stole the ball from Noussair Mazraoui and couldn’t possibly have offside, Henry had no idea why Yoro ende up looking in the linesman’s direction.
‘I invite everyone to stay on Leny Yoro. First and foremost, he’s going to try to play for offside,’ Henry said.
‘It’s a great finish from Barnes but please stay on Yoro and what he’s asking for… pause.
‘I don’t know what he’s looking at. What are you looking at? Are you looking at the linesman to try to see if he’s going to bail you out? I don’t know.
‘I don’t know if he thought there was an offside, I don’t know. We all know it’s a goal! What are you looking at?! I actually don’t know. I’ve never seen that before.’
