The REAL Reason Kobbie Mainoo is Different 

In no way are we comparing Mainoo to Rooney. What we're pointing out is that 20 years later, an 18-year-old United player has the opportunity to use the Euros as his international breakthrough and that's a really exciting prospect.

Manioo makes me enjoy watching united again that’s how good he is

His composure on the ball for an 18 year old is insane.

I like this kinda of videos from you. Like mini documentaries. Your voice is so comfortable and pleasant to hear in this type of videos. I can see myself sitting through an entire 1 hour video of this kind. Keep up the good work.

Mainoo is the missing piece in our midfield area, we're talking about a reliable defensive midfielder who can control the game, both offence and defence a box to box midfielder. We had a high hope when we signed casemiro but due to injury and age he doesn't play like we want and need him to, but unexpectedly kobbie Mainoo came out of the youth team and he showed us that he's the one. Thank God we don't have to spend huge amount for CDM because of Mainoo presence.

He's what Bruno should be. Calmness and composure on the ball, emotional control.

I could be wrong but I feel He brought calm, coverage and composure to a dire manchester united situation n he just made everything clicked. Thats how mature he is. He is mature n intelligent enough to bring maturity n calmness to a team n made us clicked.

If your good enough than your old enough & Mainoo has certainly proved he's more than good enough to be part of England squad for the Euros. Mainoo plays well beyond his years & brings something no one else does & that is calmness & composure

He truly is special.... Well put together piece @Sam

his calmness and ability to make space and get away under pressure reminds me a lot of Iniesta.

Every time there's a united game I wake up in the morning all excited just to see how Mainoo does. he's always a positive player. He doesn't pass back he looks for opportunities and cut through passes that slice open the opposition midfield.

Mainoo is having a great season. Let's hope he carries it on for many more years for united. Great video Sam

I hope that United always has a coaching team that will make sure that Kobbie stays humble and not tempted by the celebrity lifestyle of modern footballers

the discord notification sound makes me look every damn time!

Brilliant work Sam. Great quality

This kind of smart but accessible journalism makes you the best United channel on YT by a country mile

And this is under ETH, these youngsters are shining under him. I'm telling you keep ETH bc this is gonna be a brilliant team

this is a very well edited performance from both sam and kobbie, a big thanks for this!

Sammy at his best... And his bag!!! Great work!

His link from rice and the defence against that belgium midfiled could be the key england needs. Calm in tight areas, didn't lose the ball, had england playing through the middle which is something they have done for a long time. England have typically gone over the top or wide, with bellingham, kane being picked up into feet with runners beyond could have england playing in a total different way.

Excellent breakdown and articulate in your opinion and backing it up with facts makes this a great watch

This video is a therapy 😁

Unexpected vid, thanks Sam!

What a fabulous video. More of that please!

Mainoo at the year of 18, first senior English team debut and got the Man of the match. It is a dream of every English football player. To me, as a MU fans , I am really happy. Thanks to MU bring this little man out.

He just scored a banger against Liverpool 😭🔥

Jude Bellingham calling himself an "old" head at 20 will never not be funny 😂

Maino has the relaxed play style I love it

Keep doing videos like this! These are awesome 👏

Another great piece from you mate

What I saw during that England game vs Belgium was something I’ve never seen before from England. That midfield is abbbsooolluuteeellyy RIDICULOUS with Mainoo, Ricr, Bellingham and Foden. There was very high IQ, technical ability and winning mentality there. I can see them win the EUROS/WC soon. This is a different England

If he played for Liverpool - he'd be a ballon d'or candidate by now

Incredible video Sam.

Also, great work Sam. Good info delivered well.

He's gonna be top top player. But it's still very early to judge. Time will tell ❤

Hi Sam, I haven't had a chance to watch the live shows this week, fxxking work getting in the way of my fandom lol really enjoying catching up though. Best reds channel by a mile, is the arms open tonight?

Great editing Sam! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing ❤

great video！

mainoo the english seedorf. small frame but immense strength and composed.

I 100% agree with this video, mate 👌🏼. Mainoo is composed. Amazing balance on the ball. Very strategic. Has the hindsight to think ahead, not just defensively but as we've seen against wolves and especially liverpool, he's able to change the game in his favor. All the pressure can not and should not be on his shoulders too early, as I feel he requires more room and time to grow, but he most definitely deserves a spot in the England national team 💪🏼

Mason Greenwood and Kobie Mainoo, playing together, will both make Manchester United great again.

Also after Kobbie Mainoo had an ingery in November he started to make an preserve performance and this is where it all began.

im here after he scored that banger against liverpool 🔥

A banger video

Good work Sam

i like the way he got our team passing the ball with confidence and precision. that confidence spread through the team and made us look like a powerful international side. the only other player that has managed that since the days of Charlton and Alan Ball is Paul Gascoigne. Early days i know, to be comparing Mainoo with our very best, but that is his future standard. One his quite capable of attaining. He looks like the perfect ingredient for England's midfield.

The fact that ETH put so much faith in this kid shows that ETH is the MAN.

Rooney is a great example for young players. Every Manchester United young player should be compelled to watch the You Tube video of all Rooney`s goals this would show them the intelligence, observational powers and the clinical effectiveness of turning awareness into cool instantaneous action. The young players should have to write out an explanation of what they have seen for every goal. reinforcing the message Clinical efficiency relies mainly on having the observational ability to pick the right space to be in and to pick the correct spot to pass to ball in. No one displays this better than Wayne Rooney.

💯📣🔰KING KOBBIE he was born ready - and can only get beta and mature even more after being called up and played 4 England both performances absolutely Awesome at 18yrs old I think going 2 the Euros he definitely Starts 100% , well deserved Also now being a international player haha that can benefit us even more GGMNU. THANKS @SAM CRACKING VID

I have NEVER seen a player like him in 25 years of following the sport. The kids skills are undoubable and he is completely unflappable. If he can stay healthly, we are looking at one of the all time greats.

He has broke through!! Absolutely amazing,,,, look out for Latiq Roberts also from Manchester

Nice video Sam

If managed properly, he's showing the same kind of freakish intelligence and game maturity as Bellingham and could be that level of world-class superstar. The saddest truth is that he deserves to be with a better club than us.

ETH needs to tread carefully with Mainoo. He is only 18 years old! Yes, he appears to have a good head on his shoulders, but even he might get overconfident and get himself injured if all the hype goes to his head! Gotta protect this kid!

well written!!!! i root for him now

Ball lifting philosophy Old sam is back 💪🏻💪🏻

Underated video

So calm on the ball

Mainoo!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mainoo is King. It's clear for anyone to see. He thrives whenever he goes.

Would have been better to compare walcott back in the day.

Just pray that injuries don't harm him

I understand what you are saying and cannot deny he has potential. I really love the way he does the matrix thing slowing down time and seeing things no one else can see. Just get him up in the box playing beside Garnacho and let them get on with it. Do not turn him into a worker bee who does not know when to track back or even how to track back effectively. He could be another Gerd Muller or Michael Owen he is definitely not a worker bee midfielder in fact the further he is from our opponents goal the more I do not like him. Drop him or play him up front as a striker

I love this kid, the coolness is off the rails. Kid is ice cold

He's the best English talent since Rooney, eth is the prefect manager for him to grow and keep grounded

You guys should reserve all these hypes. Yes the boy is good. Just allow him grow. That's my plea 🙏🙏

Not as much pressure on him to perform as there was with Rooney. He's just so knowing already

I hope he's not overplayed, we've seen so many players have shorter careers by being overplayed, especially now with 4g pitches just look at Barcas wonderkids, Fati, Gavi and Pedri are already ruined.

But Kobbie Mainoo's main position is CDM=Defenceive Midfielder.

Definitely needs to come along and even if hes on the bench he will learn so much from that 2026 2028 is when we will see him at his best and my good its going to be elite Kevin de bruyne will be made to look average

Hey Sam, love the video messags/content /story telling... Great video Like the black and white and colours hour using. The transitions are cool. Love the voice over. Love the text. Red is cool. But.... And say this cause I love ya, the flickery snow effect is hugely IMO being overused. Think it be kept for the points hour we're making aboht rooney, to give the viewer a feeling of the past/nostalga. Also bud, sign off of the vid. Don't just let it end. Cool and unique as it is. Pump yourself or UPTV out, only needs to be a second of two. "keep up to date with the going ons of Mufc at United people's TV, thanks for watching, Sam. Honest feedback from ya boy in hoi an! Much love. Hope you see this as constructive criticism and not bitching and moaning! 2.5 hours and game onnnnnn. 3am in Vietnam! Laters!

Hahaha, it's unfazed not unphased 😅

I actually think he resembles Modric. Very skillful midfielder with defensive capabilities

Hit the “like” button if you can friends. Every little helps 👍

No way a heard a discord notification 2:53

Could you imagine if Ed Woodward didn't mess up the Bellingham deal for him to go to united , united would be set for a decade minimum not to mention the Haaland deal.

Kobbie is the exception, not the rule. Anyone who doubts him is going to eat their words.

2:55 made me look

Different gravy 🇬🇭 Stockport

And to think that ETH spotted all this last summer. ETH in

Can you simply allow him to excell. Please play him in a 4 3 3 lineup and see how many goals he can score. He's a genius.

Confirm he was going to start a season by the manager but man this gype is sndless

This is recorded before today's game against Liverpool. 433 of Maino, Rice, and Bellingham.

One thing I am scared of for his young age is if he breaks in the future and his career falls because of the break in his emotion

I hate to break it to ya, but even though Kobie Mainoo is a guy who has insane potential and is very calm and proffesional despite his age, MU is still getting quite signicant amount of shots ot their goal. I am not seeing him bringing those numbers down - If mainoo wants to further his career he needs to leave this Glazer Circus sooner rather than later!

Wayne Rooney walked on water his attitude determination skill and FIGHT was always on display. Something no one at Old Trafford seems to do any more except for Luke Shaw and young Garnacho. Mainoo is a young guy with a bit talent a brain that does not fully engage like his engine it switches off at crucial times during every single game he has played in primarily because our idiot manager prefers workhorses up front instead of natural born scorers up front. Mainoo will be the best striker in UK history if he is picked in the no 9 position.

Let the kid play 👊🏾

United need two new commanding centre backs and a new goalkeeper to start with. Mainoo is certainly a talent but will be wasted when they keep leaking goals. Definitely some promising youngsters coming through.

This video aged well - that Liverpool goal was nasty

I beg we stop putting this much pressure on him

Euro 2004 he was top guy whole tournament

wow 😳

We would have won madrid if kobbie never got hurt during pre season.. even though they have bellingham we got kobbie

RU-vid blocks your content with multiple ads which cannot be skipped....this sucks

imagine if Mctom,Rashford, Ethan Laird and T.Mengi was prop coached and mr greenwood behaved. the starting 11 would be : : Rashford,Greenwood,Garnacho bruno,mainoo,Mctom E.laird,Martinez,Mengi,Dalot Onana(maybe Kovar) FULL team of academy players......

bro added the same bellignham clip twice to reach 8 mins 💀💀

*unfazed

Video went live 3 seconds ago and the first comment was pinned 43 minutes ago??

The section with liverpool fanboys on twitter crying genuinely made me happy. YANITED
