  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mainoo is part of an exciting crop of youngsters at Old Trafford, alongside Amad, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, and the Ivorian winger believes his midfield team-mate can go on to become a club legend. Given the calibre of players that have graced Manchester United’s colours during the club’s rich history, that’s quite the compliment.

  • WHAT AMAD SAID

    Amad told Sky Sports: “Talking about Kobbie is like talking about a big legend. At his age, he is so good, he is an amazing player, a good person, I’m very close to him. I think he’s going to be one of the best players in Man Utd’s history.”

    Amad also spoke about his own ambitions at the club, adding: “[I want] to win more trophies with the club. I want to win a lot, a lot, a lot of trophies, Champions League, Premier League, everything.”
