On the Footballer’s Football Podcast, Michail Antonio explained why Mainoo stands out amongst other youngsters in the game. He plays without nerves!
Antonio said: "What’s crazy about him is that I saw a clip of him last season playing for the academy or the reserves. Literally, he was bossing the game. He was an absolute joke."
"I have seen a couple of games he has played in and he is treating it like he is playing with the youth team or the reserve team. He is controlling the tempo, he has so much confidence, he just believes in everything he is doing."
"He is playing like he’s had years in the game. That’s difficult, for youngsters coming through normally you see nerves."
This season Mainoo made 2 assists in 13 appearances for his club. His breakthrough is the one positive in Man United's otherwise terrible campaign. Fans have every reason to be excited about this player.
