Young talent Kobbie Mainoo shined as soon as he was given the opportunity by coach Erik ten Hag in the match against Everton.
In round 13 of the Premier League, Man Utd continued their resurgence by defeating Everton with a strong score of 3-0.
The highlight of the match was Alejandro Garnacho’s extremely skillful goal kick in the 3rd minute.
However, Mainoo must be praised for his impeccable performance in his first appearance in the Premier League.
The 18-year-old British prospect plays with a level of maturity that nearly overwhelms the entire Manchester United midfield when he’s on the pitch.
Mainoo is active in both attack and defense. There, this player contributed to helping Man Utd keep a clean sheet.
In the 32nd minute, when the four defenders and goalkeeper Andre Onana stood still, watching the ball fly straight into the net, Mainoo seemed to come up from the ground to save Man Utd right on the goal line.
Mainoo plays brightly, often making reasonable moves to ask for the ball. There, the young player moved the ball forward with sharp observation ability. Many times Mainoo’s opening shots put his teammates in an advantageous position.
In 72 minutes on the field, Mainoo left behind a huge set of stats with 100% successful tackles, made 34/41 accurate passes, won 5 duels, 3 times recovered the ball, 2/3 successful dribble, 2 interceptions, 1 clearance and 1 clearance.
Former football player Gary Neville had to exclaim: “There is an 18-year-old player who plays more calmly than anyone on Man Utd’s side. Mainoo is already Man United’s best player. What a quality Premier League debut.”
In the context of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount injuries, this is a great opportunity for Mainoo to firmly establish a position in Man Utd’s first team.
