Ruben Amorim had his head in his hands when Yoro went downYoro appeared to go down holding his foot, which he broke and needed surgery on earlier this season.
He received treatment on the pitch and was immediately subbed off for Harry Maguire after.
A physio was seen breaking the news to Amorim that Yoro could not continue and the manager put his head in his hands.
Maguire, Alejandro Garnacho and Patrick Dorgu consoled the 19-year-old as he headed to the tunnel.
The injury comes just ten days before Man Utd‘s blockbuster Europa League final against Tottenham on May 21.
Fans were left devastated, with one saying: “God no please, this is not happening. Yoro injured.”
Another added: “End the season now.”
More wrote: “Yoro hurting the same foot that he missed three months with earlier in the season is pretty much the worst case scenario from this game.”

A fourth commented: “I actually cba with football if he’s injured.”
On Yoro’s injury, Amorim said: “We hope it’s nothing serious. We will assess the player but I think it is a small thing.”
The manager added: “We need to change things. Only us can change things. We are missing that feeling of urgency and it’s something which is hard to explain.
“Everybody is focused on the final. The final is not the biggest thing in our football club. We need to change a lot of things.
“If we don’t change the way we play and perform and feel this urgency of winning every game, we should not play in the Champions League.
“We should just stay in the Premier League and learn how to be competitive one week at a time.
“The biggest focus on our football club is to change a lot of things. It’s not just the final.”
But it was not just United who suffered an injury blow ahead of the final as Spurs star Dejan Kulusevski picked up a problem in their 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace and was subbed off.
Man Utd ratings vs West Ham as Ugarte awful and Mainoo invisible in latest horror show
MANCHESTER UNITED dropped to 16th in the Premier League after suffering an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to West Ham at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim named a strong team for United’s return to domestic duty, but not even Amad Diallo could save the day.
United gave fans a lively start, but reverted back to factory settings after the visitors took the lead inside 27 minutes.
West Ham picked off United against the run of play, before former Man Utd star Aaron Wan-Bissaka came back to haunt his old club.
The full-back fed a clever ball through to Mohammed Kudus, who thrashed a low cross into the six yard box for Tomas Soucek to tap home.
United got caught cold again and were the masters of their own undoing, after Kudus pounced on Manuel Ugarte’s mess up to set up Jarrod Bowen, who doubled West Ham’s lead in the 58th minute.
Apart from some bright moments from Amad, this was another awful performance from the home side, as West Ham became the SIXTH team to the double over United this season.
The Red Devils haven’t haven’t won a Prem game since their 3-0 win at Leicester on March 16, which incidentally was the last team West Ham beat in February.
Here’s how SunSport’s Katherine Walsh rated every Man Utd star’s performance at Old Trafford…
