Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo showcased his talent in a stellar performance during his team’s 2-1 victory over Luton on Sunday, drawing comparisons to Paul Pogba.
Mainoo delivered an outstanding performance at Kenilworth Road, contributing to United’s success alongside Rasmus Hojlund, who scored within 46 seconds, extending his streak to six consecutive appearances.
Despite Luton’s attempts to stage a comeback, United held on to secure a crucial win, with Mainoo’s composed display standing out.
Notably, Mainoo completed six dribbles in the match, just one fewer than Pogba managed in a game in April 2022, making them the two United players with the most dribbles in a single match since then.
Mainoo’s remarkable performances have sparked discussions about a potential call-up to the England squad for Euro 2024, although he is also eligible to represent Ghana.
Mainoo intends to delay making a decision about his international future until he is “in contention for competitive senior caps,” providing Gareth Southgate with an opportunity to persuade him to choose England.
