Kobbie Mainoo had a great match when coach Erik ten Hag placed him in the starting lineup in the third round of the FA Cup

Statistics become the clearest evidence of how well a player plays. On Wigan’s DW field, Kobbie Mainoo possesses very impressive statistics.

Kobbie Mainoo had a good match against Wigan.

Achieving a passing accuracy rate of 90%, passing success rate reaching 100%, having 86 touches on the ball, 8 successful tackles, 1 key-pass (pass to create an opportunity)… is Mainoo’s statistics on the day Man Utd defeated Wigan 2-0.

If more convincing numbers were needed to show how well Mainoo played, it would be 2 successful dribbles, winning 10 out of 13 duels, having 2 out of 3 passes. Long enough to bring the ball to the right teammate’s position.

Witnessing Kobbie Mainoo’s performance, fans gave many compliments to this young talent. They believe that coach Erik ten Hag no longer needs to pursue Frenkie de Jong, because Man Utd already has “its own De Jong”, Kobbie Mainoo.

Although Mainoo is still young, he quickly shows his talent with the ball. He has composure and certainty when holding the ball. In the match against Wigan, Mainoo successfully kept pace with Man Utd’s playing style. This player also exudes serenity in every ball.

Since the beginning of the 2023/24 season, Mainoo has continuously been assigned the starting role by coach Erik ten Hag. In the Premier League, this player has made 6 appearances from the start. Meanwhile, this is the first time the 18-year-old talent has been used in the starting lineup.

Mainoo is currently valued at 6 million euros by transfermarkt. But if he continues to mature, the price for this player will skyrocket.
