Jordan Pickford has revealed what was said about Manchester United’s No. 37 Kobbie Mainoo in the Everton dressing room earlier this season.
The England international made the comments while speaking with talkSPORT.
So, what did Jordan Pickford say about Manchester United’s wonderkid, Kobbie Mainoo? Let us have a look.
What was stated about Kobbie Mainoo in the Everton locker room
Well, the 18-year-old made his Premier League debut against Everton at Goodison Park in November, and Sean Dyche praised the teenager’s presence in the dressing room.
Pickford commented: “I believe he made his complete debut against us at Goodison Park. I recall the manager remarking that the young lad was playing centre midfield.
“I knew he was a top player based on what I’d heard. He has shone for Manchester United this season and has retained his place. I’ve only practiced with him for a day, but his performances for Manchester United show he’s so calm on the ball and plays with such maturity.
Mainoo was unknown when his name appeared in the starting XI for Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Everton in November, but he is now well-known.
Manchester United’s No. 37 has a remarkable talent
The Stockport native has adapted to adult football like a duck to water, gaining much acclaim.
Ian Wright has previously stated that Mainoo is doing “unbelievable things” on the pitch, while Gary Lineker has described his efforts as “remarkable” this season.
Jurgen Klopp even gave the child a high five as he exited the ground during Manchester United’s recent 4-3 FA Cup victory over Liverpool, which pretty much says it all.
Mainoo had two successful dribbles in just 71 minutes of activity against Everton, more than any other player on the pitch, and made two interceptions, two clearances, one tackle, and one block.
He also completed 46 passes, as reported by WhoScored.
Mainoo was clearly remarkable from the start of Manchester United’s 3-0 victory, and if he continues up his current form, he might start for England at UEFA EURO 2024 this summer.
