Rooney hails this Man Utd star

Former Manchester United star, Wayne Rooney has applauded Kobbie Mainoo over his impressive performances for the Red Devils so far this season.

According to Rooney, Mainoo always makes the right decision on the pitch of play.

The Red Devils legend added that the youngster reminds him of former Man United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Mainoo is now a key player in manager Erik ten Hag’s midfield and has put on several stellar displays.

“I think he is been incredible at such a young age, the maturity he shows,” Rooney told TNT Sports.

“When you see young players come into any first-team they are normally a bit raw and they normally play off the cuff.

“He reminds me of a young Bastian Schweinsteiger, in how he plays, enticing players in.”

He added, “He always seems to make the right decision. So I think he’s got a bright future.”
