The Unexpected Rise of Kobbie Mainoo: Manchester United’s Secret Weapon in a Season of Chaos
Carrick, by comparison, is making no such mistake.
“Knowing Kobbie to start with, and what he could bring to the team, it was my thought to put him into the team,” he explained. “He would give us an awful lot.”
He spoke of the “ideal scenario” in which academy players graduate to long United careers — something he witnessed firsthand during his own playing days — and stressed the emotional value of developing and trusting young talent. With the club’s very foundations intertwined with the Munich story, Carrick noted that such principles are at the core of United’s identity. Still, he stopped short of burdening Mainoo with excessive expectation. The midfielder is “doing terrific,” Carrick said, and more youngsters must follow.
