Kobbie Mainoo expresses his delight that Erik ten Hag remains as Manchester United manager after a long period of uncertainty.

United's decision to retain Ten Hag came after a tough season in the Premier League, characterized by inconsistency and unfulfilled hopes. Mainoo is looking forward to further growth under the Dutch coach. His journey in recent months has been truly remarkable; At just 19 years old, he has firmly established himself in Manchester United's first team and has earned a place in the England squad. This rapid rise underlines the young midfielder's commitment and the faith Ten Hag has in him.

Mainoo expressed his satisfaction at building with Ten Hag, emphasizing the peace of mind of meeting his manager for next season. “He has already won two trophies and, hopefully, there will be more,” Mainoo added gratefully.
Ahead of England's next Euro 2024 group stage match against Denmark, where he could face Manchester United teammates Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen, Mainoo praised them both. “Rasmus is young like me, so I always learn from him and try to learn Christian's advice,” he said. Despite this camaraderie, Mainoo recognized the need to put friendships aside and compete for a win if he plays on Thursday. His willingness to contribute, whether as a starter or as a substitute, reflects his professional approach, recognizing the tough competition within the team, especially in midfield with players such as Jude Bellingham competing for positions. “I am prepared to play my role, whether from the bench or from kick-off. There are outstanding midfielders in the squad, both in the Premier League and abroad, like Jude,” Mainoo stressed, underlining his commitment to training hard and being prepared when necessary.
