Kobbie Mainoo made a big mistake in Saturday’s 2-0 loss to West Ham, but Manchester United fans have stood by him and said they “feel so bad” for him.
David Moyes, the former manager of Manchester United, had the most to be proud of after the Premier League match. Erik ten Hag’s team didn’t do much in the second half.
In the 72nd minute, Jarrod Bowen broke the tie at the London Stadium. Six minutes later, Mohammed Kudus gave West Ham a two-goal lead over United.
This season, Mainoo has been a big surprise for United. He played well against West Ham, but things went badly for him in the end.
The 18-year-old defender wasn’t paying full attention during the second half, and Lucas Paqueta took advantage when the ball slid under his foot.
Ten Hag’s team lost their eighth league game this season after Paqueta let Kudus go. The West Ham star then beat Andre Onana to seal a 2-0 win.

Mainoo’s appearance for United was missed by accident
Mainoo and Scott McTominay started in the middle of the pitch against West Ham. Willy Kambwala, a United promise, made his Premier League debut under Ten Hag.
The United star has been great since his first game in the Premier League against Everton last month. Mainoo has also gotten great reviews since making the club’s first team.
It was great to see Mainoo play so well against West Ham. He looked strong in midfield and was cool and collected during the first half.
The mistake, on the other hand, took away from the United player’s performance, and fans later took to social media site X (formerly Twitter) to strongly support him.
How United fans reacted to Mainoo’s mistake
“I feel bad for Kobbie Mainoo. He has been great in this match. “Had second thoughts,” one fan said.
Someone else said, “Feel bad for Kobbie; he’s been strong today too.”
“Bad mistake from Kobbie, but I don’t care because he’s our future,” said someone else. I will defend him to the hill. The problem is that there is no attacking result at all.”
“Damn, not Kobbie Mainoo,” said a fourth. I feel bad for him!”
“Feel for Kobbie because you can see that the mistake hurt him,” wrote a fifth. And besides that, he was pretty great too.”
Kathy has been great. One fan said, “One mistake shouldn’t make us forget.”
Another seventh wrote, “Kobbie Mainoo has been perfect since he joined the team this season. That mistake will only help him learn.” “Look up, kid.”
