Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo for Manchester United

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has heaped praise on his teammate Kobbie Mainoo, predicting that the young midfielder could go on to become one of the club’s greatest-ever players.

Mainoo has quickly established himself as a key figure for both club and country, despite his tender age of 19.

The midfielder played a crucial role in United’s FA Cup triumph last season, scoring in the final against Manchester City, and also helped England reach the final of Euro 2024.

Amad, who is part of an exciting group of young talents at Old Trafford alongside Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, believes that Mainoo has the potential to become a club legend.

Given the illustrious history of Manchester United, this is a significant endorsement.

“Talking about Kobbie is like talking about a big legend,” Amad told Sky Sports. “At his age, he is so good, he is an amazing player, a good person, I’m very close to him. I think he’s going to be one of the best players in Man United’s history.”

Amad also expressed his own aspirations for success at Manchester United, stating that he aims to win numerous trophies with the club, including the Champions League and Premier League.

While Erik ten Hag’s side have faced a slow start to the current season, the presence of such promising players as Amad and Mainoo could be a catalyst for a resurgence.
