Manchester United doubled their lead in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, with a stunning goal from 19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo! 💥💯
With the City defence still reeling from Alejandro Garnacho’s early strike, the Reds launched another blistering attack, this time orchestrated by Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder picked up the ball in midfield and spotted Mainoo’s run into the box, threading a pinpoint pass between the City defenders.
Mainoo’s goal was a testament to the trust that Erik ten Hag had placed in his young players, and to the club’s long-standing philosophy of nurturing homegrown talent.
The teenager, born in Manchester and raised in the city’s Moss Side neighborhood, had been a standout in United’s academy since joining the club at the age of eight. And his rise through the ranks, from the under-9s to the under-18s and eventually the first team, was a reminder that the Red Devils still had a knack for spotting and developing young players with exceptional potential.
