Manchester United midfielder Casemiro recently heaped praise on youngster Kobbie Mainoo for his performances this season.
Mainoo, 18, has surprised and impressed many with his performances this season. Making his senior debut only earlier this season, the defensive midfielder has made 22 appearances across competitions and also scored two goals. The Englishman has impressed with his calmness, passing ability and defensive acumen.
Casemiro, who is widely regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders of the recent past, recently showered praise on Mainoo. He said (via Manchester Evening News):
"For those of us who work with him, it's been no surprise to see him scoring and playing really well in games. I think we have a complete player in Kobbie – aggressive, looks after the ball, a player who wants the ball.
"I would say that if Kobbie continues the way he's going with this mentality, continues training hard and doing things right, Manchester United have a great player for the next 15 years."
Mainoo also scored a crucial goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium in the Premier League last month. With the thrilling contest tied at 3-3, the youngster scored a sensational 97th-minute winner to seal all three points for his side.
