Manchester United have spent millions in the transfer market over the past decade to try and find success.
At Old Trafford, players like Edinson Cavani, Nemanja Matic, Angel di Maria, and Romelu Lukaku have come and gone without taking home a trophy. Include the second spell of Cristiano Ronaldo in the list.
And there’s the free-of-charge academy lad, Kobbie Mainoo, the best player in Carrington, who’s enjoying winning his first FA Cup and making it look simple.
In the end, Mainoo’s goal proved to be the difference, as it helped the team upset Manchester City.
Kobbie Mainoo wins FA Cup award
After breaking into the first squad and becoming a regular, Kobbie Mainoo has been a true find for Manchester United this season.
Mainoo, who turned 19 lately, is in the England squad right now, getting ready for Euro 2024.
In addition, he is rejoicing at the announcement of the FA Cup Player of the Season for 2024 by the FA.
Supporters’ votes on the FA Cup’s social media networks declared Mainoo the winner of the prize.
Kobbie Mainoo award shows how far he has come
Kobbie Mainoo had hardly made an appearance for Manchester United a year prior. He made just one start for the team in the FA Cup, and that came as a substitute in a victory over Reading in the fourth round.
Manager Erik ten Hag was merely preparing Mainoo for the possible opportunity that lay ahead, and the teenager has responded to the occasion.
Mainoo may not have been ready for the season to conclude as well as it has, winning his first senior trophy and netting the game-winning goal at Wembley, even in his wildest hopes.
It’s one thing to win an award that was contested solely by Manchester United players.
There have been some outstanding performances during the competition, and not many would contest Amad’s victory over Liverpool alone.
Being the first player in the nation to win it indicates how much of an impact he has made this season and why United is happy to have him.
