“Forget Lisandro Martinez, THIS Manchester United Star is Giving Me Sleepless Nights!” – Son Heung-min Names the ONE Defender He Doesn’t Want to Face!
The anticipation for this weekend’s clash between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur is at an all-time high, but while many are focused on Lisandro Martinez’s absence, Spurs captain Son Heung-min has revealed that there’s another United defender keeping him up at night.
“Forget the fact that Lisandro Martinez is out of the game, but this particular Manchester United player is the one giving me sleepless nights. I can’t stop thinking about how I will be able to dribble past him. I just hope Amorim will not start him against us,” Son reportedly confessed ahead of the highly anticipated showdown.
This shocking admission has sent shockwaves through the football world. Who is the United defender that even a player of Son’s caliber is afraid to face? Many expected the South Korean star to name Raphael Varane or even Aaron Wan-Bissaka, known for his one-on-one defensive prowess. But sources indicate that the man in question is none other than Kobbie Mainoo—the young sensation who has taken the Premier League by storm with his composure, strength, and defensive intelligence.
At just 18, Mainoo has proven himself to be a midfield enforcer, shielding United’s defense with the maturity of a seasoned veteran. His ability to read the game, intercept passes, and neutralize attacking threats has made him one of Erik ten Hag’s most trusted players in big games. If Son is genuinely worried about facing him, it speaks volumes about the youngster’s impact.
With Tottenham chasing a crucial win, Son’s comments suggest that Spurs already know they’re in for a tough battle. Will Mainoo rise to the occasion and make life even more difficult for Son? Or will Amorim find a way to neutralize United’s rising star?
One thing is certain: All eyes will be on Mainoo th
is weekend.
