“This is why he is the main man. I don’t know why they said that he imJude Bellingham is better than him because Jude can never do that. He plays like the best and he will be the best one day. The fans went crazy when he did that and that was amazing”-Football Fans are making the same point after Kobbie Mainoo’s first half performance against Liverpool that shocked the world
Regarding Kobbie Mainoo’s outstanding performance against Liverpool in the first half, supporters are expressing similar feelings.
In the first forty-five minutes of Manchester United’s match against Liverpool, Mainoo stood out as one of their best players.
Although the club took an early 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Scott McTominay, Mainoo—McTominay’s midfield partner—grabbed more attention for his calm and confident play.
Mainoo’s assured performance provoked conversations on social media, with supporters wondering why the gifted young player was left out of the most recent England squad, even though the team conceded two goals shortly before halfway.
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, highlighted Mainoo’s apparent potential and the qualities he might contribute to the England side, expressing amazement at Gareth Southgate’s preference for Jordan Henderson over Mainoo.
In support of his choice, Southgate noted Mainoo’s encouraging growth but emphasised the value of letting young players develop at their own rate. He acknowledged Mainoo’s invaluable experience from his time at Manchester United and commended his growth and character.
The conversation among football fans over Mainoo’s talent and his exclusion from the national team is still going strong.
