"Slightly uncomfortable and borderline embarrassing analysis from Thierry Henry on Leny Yoro's role in Harvey Barnes third goal, 19-year-old defender by the way," one user posted on X.

"I like Henry but this is nonsense," another said. "Frozen a clip just to make a cheap joke on a young centre half. If Yoro plays for Fulham or they wouldn't dream of using this 'analysis'."

A third added: "Thierry Henry's criticism of Leny Yoro is completely unwarranted. He's a teenager learning his craft. This kind of 'analysis' is just lazy and unhelpful. Carragher deleted his tweet mocking Yoro. Clowns, the lot of them."

Another fan recalled Henry's praise for Yoro last year. "This is proper pathetic from all involved," they wrote. "A year ago, Henry said 'what he is doing is extraordinary' about Yoro, and now he's bashing him for nothing. Punditry in the toilet these days."

During his time as under-21 manager, Henry told : "We often talk about Leny. He is having an exemplary start to his career. To establish himself in Lille as he is doing… He always has some young reactions, and that is completely normal.

"It comes slowly, you make mistakes and sometimes you get embarrassed. (But) he goes on to play one match after another, he starts quite often and quite often is good. It's really good for him.

"He is professional, he's a good guy, well-educated. I like him. He performs well. Afterwards, there are always things to refine, but that's completely normal. Frankly, it's really a more than positive progression."

Yoro had a challenging start to life at Old Trafford, suffering an ankle injury in pre-season which ruled him out until December. The Frenchman has since established himself as a regular starter and will be desperate to prove his critics wrong when side face Lyon in the second leg at home on Thursday.
