“We have played in the England U21 together and the connection between me and him is Massive we where unstoppable-i want Sir Jim Ratcliffe to Sign him in the summer for Manchester United.”

According to reports, Kobbie Mainoo has already reached the stage in his career at Manchester United where he is considered to be a certain starter in the highly contested position of center midfield.

Forget about the fact that there is a Brazilian international player who has five Champions League winners medals in his trophy cabinet right now. Another option is a Danish international player who has approximately 130 caps to his name. Or maybe the captain of the club, a figure of talismanic significance in yet another challenging season.

In the heart of United’s engine room, the player who is now the top pick is neither Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, or even Bruno Fernandes. It is Mainoo, who is 18 years old.

For the next eight (maybe nine) games of this season, Mainoo will be the only player on Erik ten Hag’s starting lineup, along with one other player. Mainoo’s fast feet, aptitude on the ball, and pure verve complement Casemiro’s defensive prowess and experience, which results in a connection that sort of works in the middle of the field. Casemiro is presently the partner of choice, and the two have developed a bond that helps them function together.

For the young man from Stockport, his meteoric journey to fame has been nothing short of fantastic. Not only has he established himself as a member of the starting eleven for United, but he also seems to be virtually likely to be included in Gareth Southgate’s team for the Euro 2024 tournament, despite the fact that he just made his debut as a late replacement against Brazil a month ago.

The challenge for United is to decide who they will match Mainoo with for the next season. Despite the fact that Casemiro is the logical option to join the kid at this point, he is 32 years old and a waning force. His total fitness record is not what it used to be, and neither are his legs what they used to be. It is possible that he will leave this summer if a potential suitor makes his acquaintance.

Eriksen, another Ten Hag signing whose flame blazed brightly but burnt out too fast, is one of the players who is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer. Despite the fact that Scott McTominay may have seen his once-failing United career revived in spectacular style this season to the extent that a new contract may be due, he will surely still be seen more as a squad player than a consistent starter in the center of midfield if Sir Jim Ratcliffe is to realize his goal of chasing down Manchester City and the rest of the team. Fernandes, on the other hand, will continue to be the inspiration, but more likely in an advanced position.

This summer, Manchester United really needs to acquire a powerful central midfielder, and Mainoo has already disclosed the particular player who would be his perfect partner. A question and answer session with mufc.com asked the kid which past United star he would most want to play with.

In response, the legendary Paul Scholes, his response should not come as a surprise. The manner in which they possess an eye for a goal and the method in which they manage the ball are two aspects of their play that are comparable. Scholes has the third spot on the list of all-time appearances in the Premier League and has won 11 trophies in the league.

The response that he gave to the question was, “I’d say Paul Scholes.” However, it is possible that there will not be a great deal of defending between the two of us! On the other hand, Scholes. It is without a doubt Scholes.

“[Because] anything comes to mind. His departure, his mobility, and the manner in which he might go. That he is intelligent. Absolutely, he was a fantastic player.

Someone like Scholes would not seem to be the ideal partner for Mainoo at first glance, and he is correct in his assertion that there might not be a lot of defensive work to be done if the two of them were teamed in central midfield. It is undeniable that Scholes was a formidable offensive force in the early stages of his career. He was known for his late entrances in the box and his sensational goals.

Scholes, however, became more suited to a deep-lying playmaker position during the second half of his career at United. This role was a better fit for Scholes because it allowed him to use his exceptional passing skills and his ability to command the tempo of the game. Scholes was the only player in the Premier League who was able to manage the pace of a game better than anyone else, and no one else possessed the player’s range of passing that gave him the moniker “SatNav.”

Scholes was able to stick his foot in and break up advances before launching United on the counterattack, despite the fact that tackling was never his strong point. This is shown by the fact that he had 97 yellow cards and was reprimanded by Arsene Wenger for being “dirty.”

These are characteristics that United does not currently possess in the center of the midfield. Among the midfielders, none of them provide much in the way of control, and Casemiro, in particular, is one of the players who loses possession of the ball at an especially rapid pace. Out of all the players in the Premier League this season, his pass completion rate is just 82%. While Fulham and Newcastle have the greatest possession statistics in the league, United’s statistics are tenth best in the league overall.
