Man Utd's Leny Yoro given six-month driving ban and fined

Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has been banned from driving for six months and fined after being caught speeding in August in Withington. A camera recorded him driving his Porsche Cayenne GTS at 72mph in a 30mph zone; he pleaded guilty at Crewe Magistrates' Court and received the penalty.

The court imposed a £666 fine, a six-month disqualification, £120 in costs and a £266 victim surcharge. Yoro did not appear in court; his lawyer said he had been rushing to take a friend to the railway station and issued an apology on his behalf. Yoro joined Manchester United in 2024 for £52 million after the club secured his signature ahead of Real Madrid.

He has said he does not regret the move despite a difficult start and remains confident in the project at Old Trafford. Former United player Phil Jones has praised Yoro's pace, technical ability and reading of the game, suggesting he can be an important player for the club.
