When trusted by coach Erik Ten Hag, midfielder Kobbie Mainoo played a great match against Wigan.

 Kobbie Mainoo was just called up to the first team this season. Injuries to a series of players in the midfield area give this young talent the opportunity to be trusted by Erik Ten Hag. 

 This morning, he played alongside senior Scott McTominay and had a brilliant performance. 

 Although Mainoo has a rather thin body, he is not afraid to fight in a duel. 

 Statistics from Sofascore show that Mainoo won 10/16 duels, of which 10 wins were on the ground.

 This player has brought an almost endless source of energy to the midfield area for Man Utd. 

 He had 8 accurate tackles against Wigan. To deal with players born in 2005, most opponents have to arrange up to 2 players to accompany them. 

 In addition, Mainoo also passed with 90% accuracy and had 86 touches of the ball. Almost all of the Red Devils’ passes to the ball go through this midfielder’s feet. 

 A little minus point for Mainoo is that he lost the ball 10 times this morning.

 Although Wigan is not a tough opponent, it is clear that the performance of this 18-year-old midfielder has excited Man Utd fans. 

 Mainoo’s rapid growth certainly brought Ten Hag satisfaction. The urgent issue that he needs his students to improve is probably their finishing ability.
