With 12 appearances in the starting lineup so far this season, Mainoo is having a breakout season at Manchester United.
In the Premier League on Thursday, Erik ten Hag’s team upset Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-3 thanks to the match-winning performance of the teenager.
The midfielder scored the game’s winning goal in the dying seconds of the match, after Manchester United had let a two-goal lead slip away.
Following the game, Mainoo was showered with adulation from the crowd, and Ten Hag also praised him for his performance.
“I think I saw him very quickly.” When I first saw him in the autumn of last year, I felt that he was playing a little too easily for the Under-21s; he ought to be much more dominant, the Reds manager stated.
“He makes such good progress and is almost progressing from game to game, because we pushed him a lot by that side in training.”
Of course, it’s fantastic to witness, and I hope he maintains his composure as he did in achieving his goal. Ten Hag continued, “He is a good man with determination, and I hope he continues to make progress.
