🚨 Paul Scholes on Kobbie Mainoo:

Paul scholes 🎙️
“I think Michael Carrick has a problem now , and it’s a good problem to have. After today, I don’t see how you can simply take Kobbie Mainoo out of this team.

There was a lot of talk about Baleba, Santos and Tielemans coming in and changing the midfield, but Mainoo has reminded everyone why he was so highly rated in the first place. He gives United composure, carries the ball through pressure and, most importantly, he understands the rhythm of the game.

Carrick has to make some difficult decisions now, because you cannot reward a performance like this by putting Mainoo back on the bench.

If you’re picking Manchester United’s best midfield, Mainoo has just made himself impossible to ignore.”

🚨🎙Harry Maguire on Marcus Rashford:

"It's been really GOOD since he came in

'He's trained really WELL and us as players, if Marcus wants to be here and wants to work and wants to improve and wants to help the team, of course, we're willing to have him in the squad.

"He's a GREAT talent. You've seen that he's always a threat. I think today, I think he was a threat constantly, and I think he could still do a lot more and I think he'll say that he can do MORE.

'I think if we keep him fit, we keep him happy, he keeps driven, keeps HUNGRY, and I think he is a great asset to have.'

🚨🎙Harry Maguire reveals where Kobbie Mainoo has improved:

"I think without the ball now he's becoming a real MONSTER in there, and I think he wins a lot of second balls.

“He wins a lot of duels. You WON’T want to play against him in there and that's the biggest compliment I can give to him from playing and watching him behind.”

“I think [Kobbie Mainoo’s] work without the ball has IMPROVED so much since Michael [Carrick] has been in. That's probably CREDIT to Michael and his staff.”

🚨🎙Gary Neville has urged Manchester United’s hierarchy to make further defensive reinforcements before the summer transfer window closes:

"They rebuilt their attack last season. They rebuilt their midfield this season. It feels like they're going to WAIT another 12 months to rebuild their defense.

"I don't know if there's one or two defenders available, but if there are, couldn't we TRY to bring that money forward on this transfer window to spend less next season? Because it would really make a huge DIFFERENCE if they could recruit a center-back and a full-back.

"You saw at the end of the match, when Dalot and Shaw came off: Yoro was playing right-back and Mazraoui left-back. That's NOT ideal at all."

🚨 Owen Hargreaves on Bruno Fernandes:

“He plays virtually every game at the same level. They’re (United) so fortunate to have a player of his calibre. He’s so reliable. It’s actually remarkable. The intensity of the game, the speed of the game, but it doesn’t seem to affect guys like Bruno.”
