There are a lot of midfield choices for Manchester United, and manager Erik ten Hag is trying to find the best balance.

Casemiro is going to come back for Manchester United. He will join Christian Eriksen, who came back from injury in late December.

While they weren’t there, young star Kobbie Mainoo has stepped up, even though he just got hurt in preseason.

Kobbie Mainoo has shown that he belongs on the first team, which has impressed fans, his boss, and his teammates.

Eriksen raves about Kobbie Mainoo

In general, Manchester United tries to keep young players out of the spotlight. In a way, they are doing the same thing with the Kobbie Mainoo craze.

You can’t get away from it, though. One player, Christian Eriksen, has been blown away by what he has seen Kobbie Mainoo do, both on the field and off the field.

Eriksen told the club’s press, “I’m very impressed.”I’ve been lucky enough to see him train and from a close distance.

“What I see is great. I mean, he’s a great player.

“He’s still pretty young, but he’s doing great and earning his spot on the team.”

Mainoo set for big 2024

Kobbie Mainoo had a big year in 2023. It was the year he made his start for Manchester United and quickly became a regular.

There could be even bigger things in 2024. Mainoo will likely play in even more games and solidify his spot on the first team.

Being able to play with Eriksen and Casemiro will only make things better. Saying that Mainoo “must do this or that” for the year is not possible, but if he keeps improving without getting hurt, it will keep him moving in the right way and make Manchester United stronger.
