‘The future’ - Manchester United fans make exciting Kobbie Mainoo prediction

Manchester United fans are excited to see what Kobbie Mainoo can offer in the 2023/24 season after a memorable year so far.

The 18-year-old made his senior debut against Charlton in January’s League Cup tie, going on to feature against Reading in the FA Cup and Leicester in the Premier League. The youngster made the matchday squad 16 times this season and was on the bench for both Europa League ties against Barcelona.

Mainoo penned a new long-term deal in February, which keeps him at Old Trafford until 2027 with the option for an additional year. The teenager won the respected Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year Award, clear indication of his achievements this year.

The attacking midfielder saw his campaign end early due to an injury described as ‘not particularly serious’. Mainoo is now set to join Erik ten Hag’s squad in United’s pre-season tour of the USA in July.

United fans hijacked the comments, sending him waves of positivity. Many are predicting a stellar year for the Stockport-born talent.
