Man United's U19s lost 1-0 against Copenhagen in the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday and Kobbie Mainoo made his return.
The loudest cheer at Leigh Sports Village when Manchester United's team news was announced was reserved for Kobbie Mainoo.
Mainoo returned to the team alongside his fellow FA Youth Cup winner Dan Gore and when the teams emerged for the first whistle, it was Gore who was responsible for laying a wreath after the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton. Those who know Mainoo best paint a picture of a likeable, polite and hard-working young man and he's the type of player supporters want to see reach the first-team. Those are also traits Charlton knew the importance of.
Mainoo has the challenge of winning a starting role in Erik ten Hag's first-team this season and Tuesday afternoon was the next step of that journey, following a rehabilitation process that has taken three months. The youngster plays with a swagger and he's taken leaps forward in 2023. Gore always wants the ball and he was the most fouled player in the opening 45 minutes, leaving Copenhagen's players chasing his shadow.
Rasmus Hojlund's younger brother, Emil, led the attack for Copenhagen but he was quiet and was brought off. The exciting Shea Lacey was then introduced to the game and that was a substitution made to win the game from Binnion.
