English-born Ghanaian youngster Kobbie Mainoo has been included in Manchester United’s squad list for their 2023 pre-season tour ahead of the new season.
After enjoying a breakthrough season during the 2022/23 season, Mainoo could be set to be on the scene more often for the Red Devils in the upcoming season.
He has been included in Erik ten Hag’s squad for their pre-season tour to Norway where he could have the opportunity to state a claim of being a regular feature for Man United.
The 17-year-old made his first appearance for the first team during the 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup back in January. Later that month, he was also involved in the 3-1 win over Reading in the FA Cup.

On their pre-season tour, United will come up against Leeds United in their opener.
