Who is Kobbie Mainoo?

Kobbie Mainoo is a teenage Manchester United midfielder who wears the No 37 shirt.

He has been at United since the age of nine.

The Stockport-born youngster was a key member of a successful FA Youth Cup-winning side in 2022, and was rewarded with his first professional contract in May of that year.

The following season he continued to progress for the Red Devils Under-18's and Under-21's, and made his senior debut in a 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Charlton in January 2023, playing 30 minutes.
