Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has expressed abundant admiration for Kobbie Mainoo, suggesting that the young player’s potential knows no bounds. Drawing comparisons to Jude Bellingham, Saha acknowledges the Real Madrid star’s superior physical attributes while emphasizing Mainoo’s potential significance to United, akin to Bellingham’s role at Los Blancos, provided he refines certain aspects of his game.
Mainoo’s emergence as a standout performer has been a bright spot in what has otherwise been a disappointing season for Erik ten Hag’s team. Saha is unequivocally supportive of the 18-year-old, believing him to possess a complete skill set but urging him to address certain “mistakes” in his play. Given Mainoo’s youth, it is unsurprising that there are areas for improvement, yet the prospect of his further development is tantalizing for both United and England supporters.
In an interview with Paddy Power, the former United striker expressed his hope for Mainoo to mirror the impact of Jude Bellingham at Manchester United, citing Mainoo’s skill and composure. Saha notes Mainoo’s accelerated growth and maturity at a young age, particularly impressive given the team’s instability. He emphasizes Mainoo’s potential to surprise opponents with his calmness and ability to produce moments of brilliance seemingly out of nowhere, suggesting that his potential is limitless.
While acknowledging Bellingham’s physical prowess compared to Mainoo’s, Saha underscores Mainoo’s possession of the “full package,” akin to United legend Paul Scholes, and emphasizes the importance of consistency in Mainoo’s development. Reflecting on Mainoo’s recent impressive goal against Liverpool, Saha looks ahead to United’s upcoming fixture against Bournemouth and highlights the possibility of FA Cup success, as well as Mainoo’s potential inclusion in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Euros in Germany this summer.
