KOBBIE MAINOO gave Manchester United the massive fitness boost they most wanted for Thursday’s Europa League clash at Porto.
The midfielder ranted at team-mates after being taken off in Sunday’s 3-0 home loss against Spurs with a suspected hamstring injury.
Fit-again Kobbie Mainoo made no secret of how he’ll take his mind off the pressure on Man Utd as they head out to take on Porto
Mainoo went off on Sunday but has got the all-clear
But scans revealed the England star’s problem was less severe than feared.
Assistant boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is hoping Man Utd have packed a surprise or two for Portuguese giants Porto on Thursday
Mainoo, 19, is now shooting off to Portugal with the rest of United’s squad – carrying a sizeable and personalised Call of Duty gaming case with him.
The anchorman’s unusual luggage stood out amongst the travel bags and light suitcases of his team-mates.
Mainoo’s love for video games echoes that of Red Devils’ super-supporter Luke Littler.
The Nuke, 17, is often seen playing the latest versions, with fans even joking he dropped out of last month’s Hungarian Darts trophy to focus on EA FC 25.
United fans will hope Mainoo is on the case as much as Littler has been in recent weeks.
That’s because Erik Ten Hag, the boss, has two test flights in three days, and his job is on the line.
Following their draw on Thursday, midtable United will play a Premier League match on Sunday against fifth-place Aston Villa.
Following his need to be removed shortly before halftime last weekend, Mainoo has received the all-clear.
The 10-cap ace was spotted arguing with United substitutes Casemiro and Antony as he hobbled off.
