“He might be thinking to leave the club and replace Luka Modric at Real Madrid because of these three players. They are frustrating him in every game they play. Nobody will ever player with these rypw of players”-Three Man United players slammed for not protecting Kobbie Mainoo under Erik ten Hag
Rio Ferdinand has raised concerns about Manchester United’s negligence in safeguarding Kobbie Mainoo during matches, highlighting the 18-year-old’s remarkable rise this season. Despite Mainoo’s impressive debut campaign, featuring 19 starts for club and country, including England’s Euro 2024 squad, Ferdinand notes a lack of consistent midfield support for him under Erik ten Hag’s management.
Despite sharing the midfield with Scott McTominay, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Bruno Fernandes, Mainoo has faced exposure due to tactical shortcomings and United’s injury woes. Ferdinand, drawing from his own experience as a United stalwart, stresses the vital role of coaches and senior players in shielding young talents like Mainoo, urging greater attention to his well-being, particularly in crucial fixtures like the upcoming clash against Liverpool.
