Manchester United and Newcastle United are trending following intense online backlash sparked by a controversial incident involving football legend Thierry Henry.
During a Sky Sports analysis segment, Henry reportedly made harsh comments about Manchester United’s teenage target Leny Yoro, calling him “lazy” and a “prat.” The criticism, meant to highlight the young defender’s positioning and intensity, sparked outrage from fans and pundits alike, with many accusing Henry of being unnecessarily disrespectful toward a young talent.
According to Goal, the clip triggered such a strong response that Sky Sports deleted the segment altogether, as also confirmed by Manchester Evening News. The backlash was further amplified on TalkSPORT, where analysts and fans argued that Henry’s remarks crossed a line and were not constructive.
While Newcastle United’s name entered the mix due to transfer talks and past interest in Yoro, the story has taken on a larger tone, raising questions about how football analysts treat young players publicly and the ethics of media criticism.
With fans divided between defending Henry’s candor and protecting rising stars like Yoro, this controversy has dominated football discourse across the UK and beyond.
