Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez praises Ghanaian teenager Kobbie Mainoo for his exceptional performance against Wolverhampton Wonderers.
The 18-year-old scored a stunning goal after dribbling through Wolves’ defense and finding the back of the net in the 97th minute.
The game was heading for a thrilling 3-3 draw when the young talent secured the winning goal for the Red Devils.
After the game, Bruno Fernandez expressed his belief that the Ghanaian youngster has the potential to become a top player, citing his impressive performances at the U-18 level.
“He’s a big talent. I have seen it in the past. I saw him play for the Under-18’s two or three years ago and I said to a friend who was in Manchester and wanted to see some youth games, I said at the time the name of Kobbie [was one to watch]. We didn’t know he was going to be this talent and this player.”
Meanwhile, Kobbie Mainoo described his first Premier League goal for Manchester United as a dream come true.
“It’s a dream come true. Wolves is a tough place to come, they are on a good home run here, so we had to get the win. I haven’t come down from it, I still feel like I’m dreaming to be honest. You [interviewer] are going to have to give me a second to come back to it.”
