Manchester United defeat Wolves 4-3 in one of the games of the season.
It was a game that had absolutely everything. Fabulous goals, penalty drama and a whole load of undeniable quality. It was a real Premier League thriller.
Kobbie Mainoo got the winner on the night. Coming off the back of his first goal for the Red Devils in the FA Cup and a Player of the Month Award – he’s had a brilliant week.
He’s been receiving praise here, there and everywhere – including off Rasmus Hojlund.
Rasmus Hojlund on Kobbie Mainoo
The Danish striker spoke to TNT Sports after the fixture and had high praise for the 18-year-old midfielder.
“I didn’t really get to see him in pre-season but everyone was saying he is an incredible talent,” Hojlund told TNT.
“He has a nice body type and he is mature already. He is very calm and also outside the pitch, he is a nice and relaxed guy. You can see he is composed. He is an incredible talent. I thought I was young but he is stepping up at the age of 18.”
Diogo Dalot on Kobbie Mainoo
United teammate Diogo Dalot agrees. He took to X after the game to send Mainoo and Manchester United fans the following message.
“Special player you Kobbie. Important win. See you at Old Trafford on Sunday reds,” with various different emojis.
What a win, what a player. Mainoo is seriously special, and this is just the first of many magical nights for the United ace, we’re absolutely certain.
