‘Actually frightening’: Michail Antonio says Man Utd have a player who’s so good it genuinely scares him

Posted by

This season, Manchester United hasn’t had anything to be proud of.

The Red Devils, who are hoping to secure a spot in the Europa League for the following season, are headed for yet another disappointing Premier League season.

Although it’s difficult to find many encouraging aspects of United’s season, one player in particular has stood out as a bright ray of optimism the whole time.

We are, of course, speaking of Kobbie Mainoo.

Michail Antonio, who recently spoke on the Footballer’s Football Podcast, was all praise for the teenage phenom who has been taking the Premier League by storm.

The Manchester United midfielder received great praise from the West Ham striker.

“He truly is frightening; he truly is frightening.” The most absurd thing is that, although I didn’t know much about these players when they first came to us at the start of the season—this was United, for example—when he played against us, Antonio said, “I knew this kid was special.”

“After that, I wondered where they signed him. This man was a joke, so they had to have signed him, but after going through the academy, he turned out to be something special.

Perhaps the finest player for Manchester United is Kobbie Mainoo.
The speed at which this young man has become well-known is astounding.

A year ago, very few people were aware of Mainoo’s identity. Presently, however, he is undoubtedly Manchester United’s greatest player and may have even earned a spot in England’s starting lineup for the Euros.

As Antonio points out, Mainoo has an incredible amount of natural skill. Although he still has to improve his positional discipline and off-the-ball work, it seems like the sky is the limit for this young kid.

Here, Manchester United seems to have found another talent.
