Rasmus Hojlund Unveils What Sets ‘Generational Talent’ Kobbie Mainoo Apart

Share

The Red Devils appeared to surrender 2-0 and 3-1 leads as Pedro Neto equalized in the 94th minute, with goals from Marcus Rashford, Hojlund, and Scott McTominay.

However, rising star Mainoo showcased his skills, maneuvering past Wanderers’ challenges to curl in the winning goal, marking his first Premier League goal after scoring in the FA Cup against Newport County last weekend.

In a Man Utd team nearly at full strength, the 18-year-old started alongside Casemiro in midfield, earning praise from summer signing Hojlund after the intense clash at Molineux. Hojlund commended Mainoo, describing him as a “generational talent” with composure, relaxation on the ball, and notable scoring abilities, making him a complete player.

Hojlund emphasized Mainoo’s calm and confident approach, highlighting his quality and overall prowess as a top player.

He went on to say, “We relish our time together, enjoying outdoor activities as a group of young players.

Building camaraderie among us is fantastic, and as the younger generation, we aspire to create a lasting legacy for the club, hoping to stay together for many years.

The philosophy of ‘if you’re good enough, you’re old enough’ resonates with us, and we’re here with a purpose.

“Mainoo showcased his skills during Man Utd’s pre-season tour but faced a setback due to injury, returning to action in November.

Impressively, all eight of his Premier League appearances this season have been starts, contributing to Erik ten Hag’s side currently holding the seventh position after the victory at Wolves.

Looking ahead, they have the chance to climb to sixth on Sunday as they face West Ham United, who are just one point ahead following their recent draw with Bournemouth.
