The 18-year-old defender has been one of United’s keenest recent targets in the position, but the Red Devils could yet be forced to fend off interest from a range of other clubs.
Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be interested in making a move for the talented teenager, who is yet to make a decision about his future.
Mail Sport reported last week that United had tabled a bid that Lille is keen to move forward with, as the club prepares to move quickly to complete their transfer business ahead of next season.
As per the Guardian, Man United are in the midst of negotiating with Yoro’s representatives in a bid to get the deal over the line.
Diaby joined Villa last summer in a club record deal from Bayer Leverkusen reportedly worth an initial £43m.
The 25-year-old made 54 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring ten goals and providing nine assists as Unai Emery’s side qualified for the Champions League.
