‘It won’t take too long,’ said Kobbie Mainoo, a young player for Manchester United, of his recovery from injury.
However, his dream start against Real Madrid in the United States swiftly turned into a nightmare when he suffered an ankle injury as a result of a contact with Rodrygo. Mainoo was the standout player of United’s preseason this summer.
The recent academy graduate was ejected off the field, and it was announced that he would miss the first few months of the season.
When asked about Mainoo two weeks ago, Erik ten Hag responded that the midfielder’s return might come sooner than initially planned. He is prepared to choose that role, the man claimed, adding that they had seen him play against Arsenal in preseason.
He isn’t available right now, but I believe he will be in, say, a month or two. He won’t be available for two months, but in two months, and he will unquestionably play in the upcoming winter.
In a subsequent update, Mainoo has addressed a criticism made by club captain Bruno Fernandes on social media.
Fernandes responded to the young person’s Instagram comment by saying, “Nice pictures and fashion but on the pitch when I can see you?”
Not for very long, brother, Mainoo retorted.
Near the end of September, it is anticipated that Mainoo will play again after suffering an ankle injury. He just finalized a new, extended contract that runs until the summer of 2027.
Mason Mount, a fellow midfielder, has joined Mainoo in the treatment room as United attempts to add Sofyan Amrabat to their lineup in the center of the pitch.
