Some key comparison between Kobbie Mainoo and the former Manchester United star as stated by Former Man United captain Wayne Rooney after Manchester United win vs Everton

Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has expressed his admiration for the progress that young player Kobbie Mainoo has made.

A comparison has been made by Wayne Rooney between the young player Kobbie Mainoo of Manchester United and the former midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.

In this season, Mainoo has been a shining star for the Reds, enjoying a quick ascension to the first-team fold due to his impressive performance. During the match against Everton that took place at Old Trafford on Saturday, the midfielder who was born in Stockport made his 12th consecutive start in the Premier League.

The young player, who is only 18 years old, has established himself as a mainstay in the plans of manager Erik ten Hag, stepping up when others have failed to do so. Because of Mainoo’s meteoric rise, there have been calls for him to be included in the plans that England manager Gareth Southgate has for the European Championship, which will take place in Germany throughout the summer. Despite this, he is still qualified to represent Ghana at the regional and international levels.

Over the course of his time at Old Trafford, Rooney has expressed his profound admiration for the youngster, stating that he reminds him of Schweinsteiger, the German player who won the World Cup and with whom he trained.

“I think he has been incredible for such a young age,” Rooney said in an interview with TNT Sports prior to the match in which Everton was scheduled to play. “The level of maturity that he demonstrates.

“When you see young players come into any first-team, they are typically pretty raw and play off the cuff. This is the case for the majority of the time.” In terms of his playing style, he reminds me of a younger Bastian Schweinsteiger; he is able to attract players to his team.

According to my observations, he consistently makes the best choice. He has a promising future ahead of him.”

Rio Ferdinand, a fellow TNT Sports analyst, had the following commentary about Mainoo: “I enjoy watching him. Everyone is talking about the younger players. Our eyes are always open, and we are looking for the next generation of young players, in my opinion.

There is no doubt in my mind that he is a young player who possesses that composure. capacity is something that can be discussed; a great number of young players have the capacity to play. But it is about what is going on up here [in his brain], and he appears to have that level of composure and self-assurance as a young player that is beyond his years.
