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.
