  "summary": "Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has come under criticism from former teammate Gary Neville for deploying 20-year-old defender Leny Yoro as a right-back in a recent Premier League match. Neville, speaking on The Overlap, urged Carrick to reconsider his position, stating that Yoro may not fully understand the role. \"I don’t think Yoro understands right-back, which is fine, a lot of centre-backs don’t,\" Neville said. \"But we have got to stop bringing him on there and thinking he is a right-back. 'My feeling is Michael [Carrick] may see him as a more defensive right-back option.\"",
