Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been praised by teenager Kobbie Mainoo for the opportunities he has given him in his career. Mainoo had a standout breakthrough season with United, scoring a goal and earning player of the match honors in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
Despite rumors that ten Hag would be sacked regardless of the outcome against City, it was later announced that he would remain in charge after a post-season review by the club’s board. Discussions are now taking place about extending his contract, which is set to enter its final season.
Mainoo, who is only 19 years old, expressed his happiness about continuing to work with ten Hag. He highlighted the peace of mind that comes with knowing who the manager will be next season. Additionally, Mainoo made his debut for England in the Euro 2024 tournament, coming on as a late substitute in a 1-0 win over Serbia. He credited ten Hag for trusting him and giving him the chance to play for the team.
