Kobbie Mainoo was the hero for Manchester United in a seven-goal thriller against a spirited Wolves in the Premier League.
Kobbie Mainoo’s wonder strike sent shockwaves beyond the Molineaux and Manchester United supporters and football fans had a lot to say about the youngster’s remarkable performance.
Here are the top seven reactions that captured the essence of Mainoo’s brilliance in Manchester United’s classic 4-3 victory against Wolves on Thursday night.
Generational Talent: Mainoo better than Pogba
One of the fans couldn’t help himself, drawing comparisons between the 18-year-old and former Red, Paul Pogba.
According to him, Mainoo, who just scored his first PL goal, might go on to surpass the legacy of the former World Cup winner in the long run.
Mainoo Outshines Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo
The consensus was clear: Kobbie Mainoo's display was superior to the performances of other rising stars like Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo.
Fernandez and Caicedo are two summer signings who cost Premier League rivals Chelsea over £200 million last summer.
Release Clause: Should be Set at £900 Million
Supporters were quick to emphasize Mainoo's exceptional talent, with their online DOF suggesting a release clause that reflects his true value – a staggering £900 million.
PFA Young Player of the Year Contender
Calls for recognition were immediate, with fans advocating for Kobbie Mainoo to be a serious contender for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
Fairs Kobbie Mainoo is Cold
The use of "cold" in football slang denotes composure and skill under pressure. Fans marveled at Mainoo's ice-cool demeanor during crucial moments.
Every Manchester United Fan Right Now
The sentiment among the Red Devils faithful was unanimous – every fan shared the same exhilaration and pride in witnessing Kobbie Mainoo's extraordinary talent unfold.
This particular reaction came from injured United star, Mason Mount, who watched the sensational game from the comfort of his home.
Setting Antony Straight: Hands Off!
In a humorous twist, this particular fan playfully suggested that Kobbie Mainoo had a word with teammate Antony, advising him to keep his hands away from the ball and leave the scoring to the outfield players.
This was a reference to an encounter between Mainoo and Antony as the young midfielder wheeled away to celebrate his goal.
A bonus reaction comes from another fan who may have described what happened to many others immediately Mainoo netted that winner.
Lost My Voice: Speechless After Mainoo's Brilliance
The sheer astonishment left this supporter (and others) in awe after he admitted to losing his voice after he erupted in joy and celebration.
