Budding Ghanaian midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been named in the official list of players for the 2023-24 English Premier League season by Manchester United FC head coach Erik ten Hag.
Mainoo had his chances to shine with the senior team of the Red Devils and made those chances count by producing scintillating performances consistently in the three games to convince the Dutch manager.
He was one of the most important players for the Red Devils Academy team as he featured in ninety-five percent of the games for the club.
Mainoo made his senior debut against Charlton Athletic in January wearing no.73, with the homegrown midfielder going on to win the prestigious Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award.
The 18-year-old has been given the No.37 shirt, previously occupied by recent Under-21 European Championship winner James Garner, ahead of the new campaign.
