Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has hailed Kobbie Mainoo for his performances for the Red Devils so far this season. The former England striker said Mainoo always makes the right decision on the pitch of play, adding that the youngster reminds him of former Man United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Mainoo has become a key player in manager Erik ten Hag’s midfield, delivering a number of stellar displays. 'I think he is been incredible at such a young age, the maturity he shows,' Rooney told TNT Sports.
'When you see young players come into any first-team they are normally a bit raw and they normally play off the cuff. 'He reminds me of a young Bastian Schweinsteiger, in how he plays, enticing players in.' He added, 'He always seems to make the right decision. So I think he’s got a bright future.'
