Statistics serve as the most compelling evidence of a player’s performance. At Wigan’s DW Stadium, Kobbie Mainoo showcased remarkable statistics.

With a 90% passing accuracy rate, a 100% success rate in dribbling past opponents, 86 touches, 8 successful tackles, and 1 key pass, Mainoo’s statistics were outstanding in Man Utd’s 2-0 victory over Wigan. If more convincing numbers are needed to illustrate Mainoo’s excellent performance, they include 2 successful dribbles, winning 10 out of 13 duels, and 2 accurate long passes out of 3 attempts.

Witnessing Kobbie Mainoo’s display, fans have showered praise on this young talent. They believe that coach Erik ten Hag no longer needs to pursue Frenkie de Jong, as Man Utd now has their “own De Jong” in Kobbie Mainoo.

Despite his young age, Mainoo has already shown great talent with the ball. He remains composed and assured while in possession. In the match against Wigan, Mainoo effectively adapted to Man Utd’s style of play. Moreover, he exudes elegance in every touch.

Since the start of the 2023/24 season, Mainoo has consistently been a first-team player under coach Erik ten Hag. In the Premier League, the 18-year-old has started in 6 matches. However, this was his first time being included in the starting lineup.

Currently, Mainoo is valued at €6 million according to Transfermarkt. However, if he continues to mature and perform well, his market value is expected to skyrocket.
