Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has been banned from driving for six months and fined after a speeding incident in Withington in August, BBC Sport reports.
The 22-year-old centre-back was caught driving his Porsche Cayenne GTS at 72mph in a 30mph zone. Yoro pleaded guilty at Crewe Magistrates’ Court and was fined £666, in addition to £120 in costs and a £266 victim surcharge.

He did not appear in court, but his lawyer, Lisa Nevitt, explained that Yoro had been rushing to take a friend to the railway station.
Yoro signed for Manchester United in 2024 for £52 million ($68m) after the Red Devils won the race for his signature. Real Madrid had been among the club linked with the defender but he opted for Old Trafford instead.
