Christian Eriksen's Kobbie Mainoo verdict highlights 'exceptional' Manchester United talent
05.01.2024 - 18:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has urged Kobbie Mainoo to continue what he is doing in training for the Reds amid his breakthrough season at Old Trafford.
Mainoo emerged as one of the most talented youth players during the pre-season tour of the US. But his rise into the first team hit a stumbling block when he suffered a freak ankle injury in the early stages of the friendly against Real Madrid.
That kept the youngster sidelined until the end of October but it has not prevented Mainoo from showing his potential. His star performance at Everton led to plenty of excitement and he has now become a regular starting player for Ten Hag.

His displays for United have not gone under the radar for his teammates either. Speaking to the club's official website, Eriksen was full of praise for the teenager.
He said: "I'm very impressed. Luckily I've seen him in training and I've seen him [from] close by. I really like what I see. I mean, he's an exceptional player. He’s still a very young lad, but he's doing really well, and he's getting his spot in the team."
When asked if he had any advice for his junior teammate, Eriksen replied: "Just what he's doing: being available for training and showing his qualities in the game, which he has done. Then obviously it's up to the manager to choose and to play him and get his confidence from there.
"But I think at the moment and how he’s behaved in the first team around us has been really good. I think he's in a good spot."
