Kobbie Mainoo's journey at Manchester United has been nothing short of remarkable. His talent and hard work have not gone unnoticed, as former United player Nicky Butt has praised him for his 'amazing temperament' and warned the club that he will be a highly sought-after player if he continues on his current trajectory.
Mainoo's story began at the young age of seven when he joined United's academy, and just a few years later, he made his debut for his beloved club in January 2023. Since then, the 19-year-old has only gone from strength to strength and is now considered one of the top young talents in European football. His manager, Erik ten Hag, has recognized his potential and has made him a key player in the team, with Mainoo starting in all three of United's Premier League matches this season against Fulham, Brighton, and Liverpool.
Not only has Mainoo solidified his spot in United's starting lineup, but he has also become a regular in England's national team. He recently played 77 minutes in England's win over the Republic of Ireland and will be hoping to continue his run in the team against Finland on Tuesday. Butt, who has known Mainoo since he was a child, had nothing but praise for the young midfielder, describing him as a top player with great ability and an incredible temperament.
Mainoo's success at both club and international level has not gone unnoticed, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe vowing to bring United back to its former glory after his partial takeover of the club in February. Despite the recent success of rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, Butt believes they deserve credit for their achievements, even if it's through gritted teeth.
As a United fan, Butt understands the pain of seeing their rivals enjoy success, but he believes it's important to acknowledge their quality. He also hopes that United's hierarchy will give Ten Hag time to turn things around at the club, rather than resorting to sacking him without a proper replacement in mind.
Butt, who was a part of United's famous treble-winning team in 1999, urges the club to stand by their manager and give him the support he needs to succeed. He believes that sacking a manager without a proper plan in place can have a detrimental effect on the club, and it's crucial to give Ten Hag the time and resources to make a positive impact at Old Trafford.
Despite losing two of their first three league matches this season, Butt remains optimistic about United's future and hopes to see them return to their winning ways soon. As a fan, he understands the frustrations, but he also believes in staying loyal and giving the team and manager the necessary time and support to achieve success.
