Rio Ferdinand is surprised by Kobbie Mainoo's match with Manchester United

The red devils are looking to have a much more consistent line up, and after this game it seems that the young player is set to be a part of that line up.

Manchester United and Erik ten Hag are still worried about the injuries that the team has suffered in the season, but the fact is that now they could be looking to put that problem behind and they could be ready to make some changed to the line up that could really help the team to get some better results in the next part of the season for the team.

“The way he was dropping in between the centre-backs, not even getting it and bopping it one or two touch, he was getting it, taking touches, drifting by people or away from people, away from the challenge and the press, and then releasing it.” Ferdinand started in the way that Mainoo played in his first game for the red devils in the current season.

Ferdinand added "I thought about it the other day, 18-year-olds coming into the first team in the Premier League who gave performances like that… [Cesc] Fabregas?… I’m not saying he [Mainoo] is as good as these guys, there have been more explosive but I’m talking about composure. This was a crazy performance." about the role that the young player might now have with the team.

“For the moment, yes. The fundamentals, he does them well. But it's only one match, let's not get carried away, we need to see him regularly.” where the words of the former red devils defender when he was asked about if he believes that Mainoo is currently ahead of Amrabat on the line up for the team and with the role that he could play in the near future.
