Manchester United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after losing 4-3 to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals on Thursday evening.
While both teams were guilty of costly mistakes, Spurs ultimately capitalised on United’s errors to secure the victory.
Lisandro Martinez and Altay Bayindir made big mistakes as United conceded four goals.
However, defender Leny Yoro produced an impressive display. He demonstrated resilience in a tense match and made the correct choices with the ball at his feet.
The 19-year-old made three tackles and three interceptions. He lost only one of his six ground duels and achieved 92 percent success with ball distribution.
Antony was too passive on the right side, forcing Yoro to cover plenty of ground.
The centre-back was one of the few players who could hold his head high despite a poor result.
He must take confidence from his positive display and carry it forward to Sunday when United face Bournemouth in the Premier League.
The teenager moved to Old Trafford in a £52 million deal last summer.
United supporters had to wait a few months to see his competitive debut after he suffered an injury during pre-season.
However, they appear to have secured a potential superstar who looks destined for greatness.
