Man United’s Alejandro Garnacho hails teammate Kobbie Mainoo as club’s best player after FA Cup heroics
Manchester United’s young winger Alejandro Garnacho has heaped praise on teammate Kobbie Mainoo, describing him as the club’s best player following the English-Ghanaian’s impressive performance in the FA Cup final.
The two teenagers were instrumental in securing a 2-1 victory over rivals Man City in the FA Cup final, with Mainoo scoring the winning goal for the Red Devils at Wembley.
Mainoo’s goal came after a beautiful team move that involved Marcus Rashford, Garnacho, and Bruno Fernandes, ultimately culminating in the young forward coolly finishing past City’s goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.
Speaking to BBC One after the match, Garnacho expressed his admiration for Mainoo, saying: “Incredible. The best player in the squad and he’s the youngest. We’re also good friends. I’m so happy for him.”
Garnacho went on to praise the team’s unity and fighting spirit, stating: “Incredible. Nobody believed in us. But we’re a team, all together. We fought, the game of our lives.”
Mainoo has been a standout performer for Man United throughout the season, earning himself a spot in England’s provisional squad for the upcoming 2024 European Championships.
The young forward’s rise to prominence has been a bright spot for United fans, and his partnership with Garnacho is proving to be a formidable force on the pitch.
