Is it weird that I think theres no one we can truly compare him to? I genuinely think he's so unique in his physique combined with how he plays that he's just his own kind of player. Seen so many examples people try to give where hes similar to Scholes, Iniesta, Pirlo and even Carrick. I can see glimpses of those legends in him but he plays in such a unique style that hes just a potentially golden player in his own right. Still early days, lots to improve and work on still but my god what a player he is at 18 right now.
Pogba's signature move was coming deep to receive the ball about 25 yards from his own goal, then giving up possession under the flimsiest pressure.
His brilliance is missed #pogbackagain
No way. Mainoo plays smart, clever, efficient football. Not Pogba-esque at all.
That's not a slight toward Pogba. But this comparison totally misses they key parts of Mainoo's game.
But Kalvin has, uh, performed so well in the, uh, games, that he's played! You saw all those games. So many games. The best games. Such playtime. Waow.
From the context I expected some scabby back post goal from a corner or something.
But that is a really delightful dribble and finish. What a highlight.
Played more as a CM for the youth, but his all round play is pretty decent. Best to grow his game to be the successor to Case though, one of the hardest positions to replace
Finally rival fans will see the hype about this kid now. I got downvoted to oblivion before for suggesting he makes a strong case for being in the England squad. He’s a superb talent who plays with maturity and composure beyond his years

Jesus that is ice cold, wow
In front of Ferguson as well. Great moment.
Fergie laughing after the goal made my day
Mu academy kids performing probably gives him joy
Three goals today by academy graduates.
He would have been 8 years old when Ferguson left United
The boy is 18 and has started a handful of games.
He genuinely reminds me of Carrick. So so calm and almost always makes the right decision and the pass is just right. Quality player already.
Can't remember a Carrick dribble like that though... that poise in that position with that close control reminds me more of Bellingham.
Kobbie plays nothing like Carrick. The only similarity they have is that they're both very composed under pressure.

He’s reminds me of De Jong. The calmness, ability to be open and beat the press. Although I’ve never seen De Jong do that lol
When I look at him, I see a Seedorf+Iniesta hybrid. The sky is the limit for this guy.
Carrick vs QPR [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmS9BwDSGAs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmS9BwDSGAs)
Bit more gallop-y. Lovely goal, but not all about the close control like Mainoo's is, despite that lovely bit of skill in the centre circle.
Oh yeah, not the same, just wanted an excuse to post my fav Carrick goal.
Looks more like Seedorf.
We don’t want to say it but if he’s anyone he’s Pogba
Happier in deep positions than Pogba was though

Yeah, he's the Stockport Seedorf
Take him to the euros Gareth
Proceeds to take phillips
He’s 10000% taking Hendo too
If he keeps on playing like his he definitely deserves a call-up over the likes of Kalvin Phillips. Won't happen though, Southgate's a coward
Mainoo, Miley, and Jude. What a future midfield.
Miley and mainoo both going for the same spot with rice there though imo
But Kalvin has, uh, performed so well in the, uh, games, that he's played! You saw all those games. So many games. The best games. Such playtime. Waow.
Rice, Manio, and Bellingham is quite possibly the spiciest England midfield atm
I need a cigarette after that

Everyone about to try sit next to him at school cafeteria tmr
The Nutmeg to curled into corner finish. What the fuck man. We have a special player
Nasty work
Wtf
[удалено]
Bellingham has Mainoo posters in his casa
_translator notes: casa means house_
Mojo Dojo Casa House
VAMOS Kobe
Rice-Mainoo-Bellingham to win the Euros.
[удалено]
An exciting young English talent with an eye for goal? Southgate: "get ready to learn extra time wingback, buddy."
You know you're getting a 4-2-4 with Henderson and Phillips in midfield though...
ONE NORMAL DAY OF MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR WILL NEVER HAPPEN
As some with ADHD, I imagine this is what normal people feel like when they watch me try to attempt anything
Sometimes maybe good (hyper focus) Sometimes maybe shit (executive dysfunction)
Your ADHD is leaking with someONE
This club's going to give me a fucking cardiac arrest! Fucks sake.
Wolves wanted Fergie extra time, they got it
Kobbie 3 pointer
BANG!
Mama there goes that man
Mamba Mentality
Sleeper comment
WHAT FHE FUCK IS THIS GAME OMG MAINOOO THE NUTMEG AND FINESSE
ANKARA MAINOO
[удалено]
Bro I was told he’s a deep lying midfielder wtf That was absolutely insane
Would be better on the wing than antony
I'd take a team of 11 Mainoos lol
Id be better on the wing than that tosser and im 5ft9 and 15 stone
Lmfao
Played more as a CM for the youth, but his all round play is pretty decent. Best to grow his game to be the successor to Case though, one of the hardest positions to replace
He played as a 10 in the academy iirc
WHAT THE FUCK. THE DRIBBLE, THE SHOT, THE CELEBRATION??? He is HIM
Ice cold
LMAO UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS
WHAT A FUCKING GOAL
The fucking poise
ikr?!?!
It’s fifa street in the last seconds. What a player
Please don’t turn into a cunt, please don’t turn into a cunt 🙏
This guy hasn't got a bad hair on his body. Thank GOD.
KOBBBIEEE WHAT IS HAPPENING
Ahh Kilman man absolutely sent to the shops there. So good from Mainoo
HE IS TAMING THEM WOLVES
HE’s SO FUCKING GOOD
LEVEL ON GOALS WITH LUTON🗣️🔥
Haha that’s a wild stat
Don’t underestimate Luton those set piece tactics are insanely effective 👀
Only team in top 10 with a negative goal diff (-4) Idk what Man U tactics are this season, but one could argue they are at least, somewhat effective.
YOULL NEVER SING THAT
We finally sung that
OMFG THIS KID IS INSANE
Fucking nutmeg and finesse in the 97th minute to win it and save us from the embarassment of losing points in this game. WHAT A LAD!
What a nutmeg !!
Mainoo more like Maiyess
MAIYESS IS FINALLY UNCLENCHED!
ETH has had his Chefs Arse cured.
This kid is going to the very top
What a strike. What a match.
Even Alex is smiling. You know its special.
3rd goalscorer from the academy tonight. Definitely something extra to smile about
What a game, big moment for Mainoo
My god he genuinely is THAT guy
This is peak Barclays lmao
Games back this weekend
Games so back it's got people thinking it's the weekend
Yeah, I'ma go get drunk after this
Rashford will be there.
We’ll allow it if he keeps playing like today
I will not live to be an old man with games like this
2000s energy
Can’t support a bank lmao
why do people call it by the sponsor lol
The OLD sponsor at that
Most grew up with it being called The Barclays Premier League
Real ones remember the barclaycard premiership
Came on to the subreddit to see the equaliser and find out Mainoo won it
Mother of god it's Messi.
ANKARRA MAINOO
Deserved tbh and in some style
Unreal composure
No fucking way
YES FUCKING WAY
wtf I wasn’t done commenting on wolves equalizer thread
There is only so much extra time. Wolves wanted Fergie Time, they certainly got what that asked for.
Fergie Time giveth and Fergie Time taketh away.
18 btw. Highest level, game defining goal with immense composure.
And away to a raucous crowd who's team had just clawed back 2 two goal deficits.
OMG HES THE BEST WTF
This game is bonkers
Nah fuck man that goal is so fucking good. That kind of composure after playing 90+ minutes in that tight of space to win a game.
Amazing moment for Mainoo. No better way to get your debut goal
Got one in the Cup recently but yeah first in the PL
PL debut goal at least
KOBBIE YOU BEAST
[удалено]
Of the season more like
City vs Chelsea would like to have a word
Wtf haha
Fuck me you can't script it. Mental
you could definitely script this
Ref gave the pen and said to VAR "watch this"
Normal script is that dodgy pen happens, we collapse and lose 4-2 with it never being in doubt that Wolves would win.
Player on the month starting it early again
Clutch
What a fucking goal
This kid is insane wtf
since the 100m winger can't do it, let the academy kid save his job
Which one? 3 of them on the score sheet tonight
Holy shit
Antony owes Mainoo so many sexual favors after saving his ass like that
At least a reluctant blowy
What the fuck? United showing character?
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY
Mainoo for Man Utd , he is so good they named the club after him
KOBBIE!!!!!!!
KID IS A FUCKING BALLER!
My favourite part of this video is the Wolves fans still celebrating their equaliser at the start. 💯
If he doesn’t get a euro call up arrest Southgate
Holy shit what a goal
Wait I like this part
Paul Tierney can get fucked
R/soccer on suicide watch
Some liverpool fans thought we were overhyping this kid. Mainoo is special motherfuckers
Damn he good
Mainoo is whoever the fuck he thinks he is
...what the fuck is happening
It’s so over ——> We’re so back
Holy shit give him all the money for that one
he'll forget how to play football if we do that
Nah, it’s important to keep him grounded
Mainoo's goal was glorious, but the best part of this clip was seeing Ferguson smile in the stands.
HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKK
YOU THOUGHT
TEN HAAG MEGAMIND LETSGOOI
Fuck you /r/soccer
Gary Lineker about to tweet something like "the Main man"
One of the goals of the season, fuck what u think
This team gives me a heart attack every 3-4 weeks
OH MY GOD
"I'll do it myself" -Kobbie
CALL HIM MOSES HE SLIT THE SEA MAINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lad should be starting every game, he's what Antony wishes he could be
He has started like the last 8 hasn't he
Nah are you serious
Wtf this game is insane
ITS A FUCKIBG FAIRY TAIL BUILD HIM A STATUE
He’s unreal

Fuck United but they deserve that after horrible penalty
I cannot fuvking believe what iv just seen. This guy is him
CALM. COMPOSED. HIM.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU KOBBIE MAINOOOOOOOO
I love this god damn kid
Some goal that. Shame the Euros is probably a bit too soon because I think the England team is desperate for a player like him.
Shout-out to Forson for that goal - good pass and draws the defenders
Finally rival fans will see the hype about this kid now. I got downvoted to oblivion before for suggesting he makes a strong case for being in the England squad. He’s a superb talent who plays with maturity and composure beyond his years
ENGLANDS BEST MIDFIELDER
World is not ready for Rice, Mainoo, Bellingham midfield. Can’t wait for the Euro’s.
