In a recent statement, former Spanish footballer Cesc Fabregas has expressed his belief that Manchester United should focus on developing their team around the emerging talent of England’s Kobbie Mainoo.
Despite his limited appearances of only 19 games for the Red Devils, Mainoo has already started to captivate audiences with his exceptional skills, positioning him as one of Europe’s most promising young players.
Fabregas commended Mainoo’s abilities during his appearance on the BBC’s Planet Premier League show, highlighting his potential to influence game outcomes significantly with his exceptional talent.
The ex-Chelsea and Arsenal player emphasized the importance of providing the 18-year-old rising star with adequate protection and playing time to nurture his growth as a player.
By surrounding Mainoo with teammates of higher quality in the upcoming transfer period, Manchester United could further elevate his skills and overall performance.
Fabregas concluded by asserting that the young midfielder is not merely a player for the future but is ready to contribute significantly in the present, indicating that he should be a pivotal figure for Manchester United in the upcoming season, regardless of any new signings.
According to Fabregas, “He’s a player who requires careful handling, but also deserves significant playing time to showcase his game-changing abilities. His on-field persona is remarkable, giving off the impression that he has a wealth of experience. To facilitate his progress, it is essential for the club to bolster the squad in the upcoming transfer window to maximize his potential.”
He further noted, “I anticipate a busy transfer window for Manchester United, and it is imperative that Kobbie Mainoo assumes a central role heading into the next season.”
