Kobbie Mainoo, the young prodigy from Manchester United, has been making waves in the football world with his exceptional performances. The 19-year-old midfielder has caught the attention of some of the biggest names in football, each offering glowing endorsements of his talent, maturity, and potential. Here’s what football personalities have to say about Kobbie Mainoo:
Paul Scholes: "I read a few comparisons between me and this kid last week... don't waste your time, he is 10 times the player I was at 19.
"Just love the way he receives the ball, the calmness, the awareness of what's around him and of course big goals in big games."
Clarence Seedorf: "He reminds me of a younger me, with his body and movement, but the thing he has that I never did is his maturity on the ball at such a young age,The sky is the limit for him."
Cesc Fàbregas: "He's not only the future, he's the present already. I always talk about the attitude and the personality; this is what makes a really, really good player in the difficult moments and he’s showing that."
Ian Wright: . "Give him the keys, because when you look at the way he plays, his calmness, his maturity for his age, the positions he picks up, you’ve got a player in midfield that can progress the ball and play the ball with such calmness, such fluidity."
Claude Makélélé: "In England's midfield, I would go for Rice, Bellingham, and this boy from Manchester (Mainoo). He is very good, so young, but he has demonstrated that he can play. He is young but has quality. I think he will add some spice to the midfield."
Jude Bellingham: "I know how hard it can be when there's a clamour and people put a lot of pressure on you - so I don't want to add fuel to the fire - but he's a brilliant player and he's going to have an amazing future at Manchester United, and hopefully for England as well."
Casemiro: "I think we have a complete player in Kobbie – aggressive, looks after the ball, a player who wants the ball."
Bruno Fernandes: "For his age, he has so many qualities. He sees things before others. He is comfortable with the ball and never makes a mistake. Very good!"
Gareth Southgate: "He gives us a different profile of midfield player to anything else we’ve got and we’re really pleased with what he’s done, he’s adapted and adjusted brilliantly, you can’t believe his age really, that he’s taking it all in his stride as he has."
