Kobbie Mainoo’s commanding display as a midfielder for Manchester United in their 3-0 victory over Everton has triggered fervent appeals on social media for his inclusion in the Ghanaian national team.
The 18-year-old midfielder delivered a stellar performance at Goodison Park on Sunday, November 26, 2023, contributing significantly to United’s resounding away win, their most substantial in the Premier League over the past two seasons.
Mainoo’s dominance in the midfield earned praise from Manchester United players and coaches alike, with club legend Neville lauding him for his outstanding performance.
The young talent’s notable contribution has ignited discussions and calls on social media for his potential involvement with the Ghanaian national team.
“There’s an 18-year-old out thGaryere who looks more composed than anyone,” said Neville on co-commentary during the game.
“Mainoo has been Manchester United’s best player by a street. A brilliant, brilliant Premier League debut from him.”
The midfielder for Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes, declared Kobbie Mainoo to be his Man of the Match in a post-match interview.
He claimed that the teenager is very talented and error-free for his age.
“A great match. For me, he is the man of the match. He put in a great performance. He is comfortable with the ball and never makes a mistake. For his age he has so much qualities. He sees things before others,” Bruno Fernandes said after the win over Everton.
Mainoo, who was born in Stockport, England, is qualified to represent Ghana because both of his parents are Ghanaians.
In addition, Mainoo, who has been living with his parents in England since his birth, is a player.
People from Ghana are pleading with him to choose Ghana over England on social media, demanding that he be added to the Black Stars.
