Mainoo mocks Yoro on Man Utd night out
Defender out for two to three months
WHAT HAPPENED?
Yoro joined Manchester United this summer for a reported fee of £52 million ($68m) from Lille. However, during his first appearance for Erik ten Hag's side in a friendly against Arsenal, the 18-year-old suffered a metatarsal injury and had to undergo surgery for the issue. Regardless of his layoff from the field, Yoro is still making friends at the club and Mainoo seems to be one of those as the England midfielder appeared to cheekily mock the Frenchman after a team dinner at Manchester restaurant Tattu this week.

Mainoo jokingly complained about the length of time Yoro took to enter a cab, saying: "Leny, you're so slow bro!"
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Yoro is now set to be out of action for two to three months following the surgery and Manchester United will hope to see the centre-back return in form. The Frenchman will have to fight for his place in the starting line-up upon his comeback, with Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire offering more experience.
