What Erik ten Hag silently whispered to the Manchester United youngstar Kobbie Mainoo after Man United League Cup win last year has been revealed

When Manchester United won the League Cup last year, Erik ten Hag didn’t have Kobbie Mainoo on the team. He went right for him.

Someone brought up Erik ten Hag’s fight with Kobbie Mainoo after Manchester United won the League Cup last year. He said, “You remember that well.”

Ten Hag shook hands with Mainoo after putting his hand on the child. He had a gold ring around his neck. Ten Hag gave Mainoo a 15-second pep talk and then hit him over the head to stop.

Mainoo wasn’t on the team because he was only 17 years old and had only played three times for United. What did Ten Hag say?

Before Friday’s game, Ten Hag told the press, “I remember what I said: your day will come.” We’re going to win trophies together, and soon you’ll be on the field.

“I’m going with this club.” We’re going to get better, and our goal is to win! So take pleasure in this time and learn something from it. You know what you need to do now.

Wembley was the first place Mainoo played for England. It was March 26, exactly one year and one month after the League Cup final. When the FA Cup semi-finals start in 22 days at the national stadium, United will play Coventry City. He will play if he is healthy.

On the 26th, Mainoo’s quick rise to fame will come to an end. On July 26, while on the pre-season tour, he hurt his ankle playing against Real Madrid in Houston. When he got back, his first Premier League game was on November 26 at Everton. He played the best for United that day.

Beginning Mainoo in the game against Madrid showed that Ten Hag was getting him ready to play with the team right away. According to Ten Hag, “Yes it was the plan, it was the intention.”

“We thought he could do it, and we also thought he could quickly get used to high levels, so we had to put that off.” That’s good for us and him, though.

“He showed that he can make a big difference for our team later in the season.” We’re glad we got this right and that our team has a star like him.

“He can really contribute and be the player who can make us play the way we want to play.”
