Kobbie Mainoo was a major talking point for Manchester United fans after Michael Carrick’s men hosted Brentford for their latest Premier League fixture.
The Red Devils received a huge boost to their Champions League qualification bid on their last outing after Manchester United defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Man Utd had lost 2-1 to rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford ahead of bouncing back in their huge Premier League showdown with the Blues earlier this month.
Michael Carrick entered the final five Premier League matches of his interim reign on Monday evening amid United’s pursuit for a top-four finish in the 2025-26 season.
Man Utd fans immediately react to Kobbie Mainoo after the Premier League match against Brentford
Manchester United fans singled out Kobbie Mainoo and raved about the England midfielder’s display against Brentford in United In Focus’ TalkingPoints platform.
One Red Devils supporter wrote: “He was fantastic again today. So impressive.”
Someone else added: “Kobbie showed up, yet again. Can’t believe how long he was benched for.”
While another Man Utd fan suggested: “Kobbie. Amad [Diallo] ‘robbed’ him of an all-time assist.”
“Immense today. Should have [had] that assist as well,” somebody else said.
And a fifth posted: “Start Mainoo and the results will come.”
That was his [Ruben Amorim] downfall: his stubbornness. With the system and his ‘agenda’ towards Kobbie,” another TalkingPoints user argued.
A seventh claimed: “It’s just so strange [with Ruben Amorim]. I understand Kobbie had to work on some stuff — and has got better for it — but how do you not start a player like that?”
