Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United)

Mainoo

The midfielder hasn’t set the world alight with his performances at youth level for United this season (he has just two goals and two assists in Premier League 2), but manager Erik ten Hag is a massive fan.

Mainoo was handed his first-team debut against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup back in January, and he has also had cameos in the FA Cup and Premier League.


The 17-year-old is a natural ball carrier, and he is confident in tight spaces, so he could be deployed as part of United’s midfield two more frequently in the future.
