Mainoo, aged just 18, has been turning heads with his remarkable performances throughout the ongoing season. His contributions include a stunning match-winning goal in a thrilling 4-3 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers and another goal in a 4-2 triumph over Newport County in the FA Cup.
In a recent fixture at Old Trafford, Mainoo once again showcased his talents, delivering a masterclass performance as Manchester United secured a convincing 2-0 win.
Speaking in admiration of the young midfielder, Ferdinand, a revered figure at Manchester United, expressed his delight in watching Mainoo play. He commended Mainoo’s composure and maturity on the field, noting that the youngster possesses qualities far beyond his years.
“I enjoy watching him,” Ferdinand remarked to TNT Sports. “Our eyes are always looking out for that next young player, and it’s that calmness and assuredness he has which is beyond his years,” he added.
Mainoo’s impressive form has not gone unnoticed by the Ghana Football Association (GFA), who have expressed keen interest in recruiting the promising midfielder to represent the Black Stars on the international stage.
