Yoro names close friend since joining Manchester United

According to Sports Bible, Yoro, during an interview with United's official website, named England international Kobbie Mainoo as his close friend since joining Manchester United less than a week ago.

"I'm really close to Kobbie Mainoo, and this will help me a lot. He sent me a message. He's a really good guy," the former Lille defender said.

Mainoo has yet to resume pre-season training with Manchester United ahead of the new season due to his participation in the just-concluded 2024 UEFA European Championship in Germany.

Despite still being on vacation, Mainoo is already building relationships with new club signings. Joshua Zirkzee also confirmed talking with the midfielder at the Euros.
