Former Red Devils striker Louis Saha has told Kobbie Mainoo that he may be Manchester United’s very own Jude Bellingham.
Mainoo made his Premier League debut in November, but he has made a quick ascent to the first team this season, receiving a senior England call-up last month. Manager Erik ten Hag’s decision to start a lineup without the 18-year-old at the center of the midfield these days is inexplicable.

Against bitter rivals Liverpool, midway through the second half, Mainoo curled home a breathtaking shot, demonstrating that no occasion is too big for him. Despite his team’s inability to hold on and Mohamed Salah’s equalizing goal to make it 2-2, Mainoo experienced a magical moment.
Unquestionably, the young player has been the Premier League giants’ bright spot during an otherwise lackluster season. Having said that, Ten Hag’s team is still in contention for trophies as they prepare for their FA Cup semifinal matchup with Coventry on Sunday.
Should Mainoo succeed in hoisting the FA Cup high, it would be a perfect way to round off his maiden season in the United first team.
The latest well-known figure to extol Mainoo’s virtues is Saha, who told Paddy Power that the Frenchman “Kobbie Mainoo can be Manchester United’s Jude Bellingham!”
“He possesses the abilities and poise. Considering that he plays for an insecure team, he is one of those players who has matured at a faster rate than usual and is only eighteen.”
“Having a player like Mainoo who can surprise the opposition with his calmness and out of nowhere, he’s able to produce some magic, so he has no ceiling.”Reported By SkyNews.
