Nicky Butt has praised Kobbie Mainoo’s ‘amazing temperament’ and warned Manchester United that the midfielder will be a ‘very wanted man’ if he continues on the same trajectory.
Mainoo rose through United’s academy ranks after joining at the age of just seven and made his first-team debut for his boyhood club in January 2023.
Since then, Mainoo’s stock has continued to soar at a rapid rate and the 19-year-old is widely considered to be one of the finest young players in European football.
Erik ten Hag now views Mainoo as one of the first names on his teamsheet and the teenager has started all three of the Red Devils’ matches in the Premier League this season against Fulham, Brighton and Liverpool.
