Manchester United are in Los Angeles for the summer tour, but en route there Rasmus Hojlund has given Leny Yoro a nickname.
Tour 2024 is up and running, with Manchester United bringing a 29-man squad to the USA ahead of Sunday morning's opener against Arsenal.
The tour squad sees multiple returnees and also a lot of youngsters, while Leny Yoro also travels where he will be tested for the first time as a United defender.
Before the squad could even reach America, United's newly crowned No.9 Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo made a video from the plane, documenting what was going on and interviewing their teammates.
In doing so, Hojlund has ended up giving Yoro a nickname which we think suits him perfectly.
Rasmus Hojlund gives Leny Yoro a nickname
Manchester United have headed to Los Angeles to begin the US leg of the tour 2024. This entailed a flight time of potentially up to 14 hours, so the players had to figure out ways to entertain themselves.
Hojlund was tasked with making a video for the club's X account in which he asked players what they were planning to do on the plane.
When he and Amad reached Yoro, Hojlund labelled the 18-year-old a "star man" before asking him the question.
"So here we have him, the star man, straight out of France.
"You need to tell me what you're going to do in the time you're on the plane."
To this, Yoro simply responded, "sleep" before he added "movies" to his answer.

Hojlund is spot on with the nickname for Yoro, and it suits him perfectly as he absolutely will be the star man in defence for Erik ten Hag's side this coming season.
Who else was on the plane?
The 29-man squad was revealed yesterday and within the group, several surprising youngsters were named including Jack Fletcher.
Fletcher was also targeted by Hojlund's questioning, as he said: "Look at this kid".
Fletcher then responded: "What's your question?"
After this Hojlund made a joke, calling him "Fletcher Moore", before asking if he was "going to do anything special?"
"No chill", Fletcher responded. But it's nice to see senior players and the youngsters getting along well together.
Hojlund also labelled Amad as being a "beautiful player", something which is absolutely spot on.
