MANCHESTER UNITED fans demanded that “superhero” Kobbie Mainoo goes to Euro 2024 following his performance against City.
The 18-year-old sensation started in the middle of the park at the Etihad in the Manchester derby.
Fans demanded that ‘superhero’ Kobbie Mainoo goes to Euro 2024
After just eight minutes, Marcus Rashford scored a miracle goal to put United ahead.
However, before halftime, City pushed for a draw and Mainoo’s heroics were needed to hold United ahead.
A cross fell to Phil Foden and his volley was bravely blocked by the young midfielder – leaving fans in awe.
One said: “Kobbie Mainoo stopping a close-range shot from going in with his head.
“Gives absolutely everything for the badge. I LOVE THIS BOY!!!”
Another added: “If Kobbie Mainoo goes to the Euros then it’s coming home.”
One hailed: “It will be a crime if kobbie Mainoo doesn’t make it to Euros.”
Another gushed: “I know a superhero when I see one.
“I know Rashford scored a class goal but thoughts on that Mainoo first half performance United fans.”

Despite Mainoo’s defensive prowess, he could do nothing to stop Foden’s stunning equaliser on the hour mark.
And it was his England team-mate who later put City ahead with ten minutes to go and seal a second-half double.
Erling Haaland then wrapped up the three points in added time to condemn United to a 3-1 defeat.
