Yoro undergoes surgery on ankle Sends positive update to Man Utd fans Expected to return after three monthsWHAT HAPPENED?
Yoro made the switch from Lille to Manchester United for a reported fee of £52 million ($66m) earlier this summer as the Red Devils looked to bring youth into their set-up ahead of the 2024/25 season. However, the Frenchman suffered an unfortunate injury during their friendly against Arsenal and has now undergone surgery on his injured ankle. The 19-year-old has now shared an upbeat statement on Instagram as he begins his rehabilitation.

"See you soon, stronger!"

Following the end of a rather disastrous Premier League season that saw Manchester United's leaky defence concede a record number of goals, the Red Devils top brass decided that there needed to be a dressing room overhaul, especially in defence. As such, they let go of Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala and signed Yoro. United are also reportedly looking to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka and sign Bayern Munich's Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt.
WHAT NEXT FOR YORO?
The Frenchman is set for a lengthy spell on the sideline as he is said to be expected to be out for close to three months. However, Yoro will hope to have a quick return to action as he begins his recovery soon.
