Mainoo a 'massive influence' on Man Utd upturn, says Carrick
MANCHESTER: Michael Carrick said Kobbie Mainoo is a “real joy” to work with after the England international caught the eye in Manchester United’s 4-0 thrashing of Sabah on the Red Devils return to the Champions League.
Michael Carrick praised Kobbie Mainoo, an England international, for being a valuable asset to Manchester United. Mainoo made a significant contribution in Manchester United's 4-0 victory over Sabah during the team's return to the Champions League. Mainoo played a pivotal role in United's recent turnaround since Carrick took over as manager in January.
Carrick noted that Mainoo has been performing well, playing a deeper role, connecting attacks, and starting them. Mainoo is seen as a player who wants to learn, improve, listen, and express himself on the pitch. Despite United signing players like Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos, and Carlos Baleba in the transfer window, Mainoo's importance was evident as he did not start in the opening weekend match against Hull.
Since returning to the starting lineup alongside Tielemans and captain Bruno Fernandes, United have scored 11 times in three games. Carrick acknowledged that United has played some good football in the middle of the pitch, with some of their attacking play being fantastic.
