'Watch out' - Manchester United fans make same Kobbie Mainoo point after selection call
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United supporters are backing highly-rated teenager Kobbie Mainoo to be involved in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford after the fit-again midfielder was omitted from the Premier League 2 squad for a 1-1 draw with Fulham on Friday night.
Mainoo, who had picked up an ankle injury in pre-season, stepped up his comeback with an appearance for United in their UEFA Youth League defeat to FC Copenhagen on Tuesday afternoon.
The 18-year-old played for 45 minutes in what was his first competitive game this campaign. However, with treble-winning neighbours Manchester City now on the horizon, United resisted the temptation to hand Mainoo further minutes for the next generation.
