I actually feel sorry for mainoo
Let’s not pretend he’s not a very good player.
That club will destroy his confidence
Far too much pressure on his young shoulders, the rags are already on his case
Despite the fact he had 4 Liverpool players around him when he lost the ball.
If he’s any sense he will fuck that club off
Before it’s too late.

Watched him playing alongside Bellingham at the Euros, not much to choose between the pair of them.

They were both well below the standard required.

He would not have played for England if didn't play there

No lets not pretend that he is a very good player, the press has over praised and over promoted this kid to be cross between prime yaya and zidane and apart from a couple of flashes of decent play he looks more like a cross between and an ageing casemiro and mason mount, hes consistently way out of position, misplaces passes all the time, jogs back after losing the ball and weak in the challenge, he looks a decent player because the rest of that midfield is atrocious but he has a long way to go to be called a good player.

He gets all the hype but nowhere near as good as our Rico

Rico is 10 times the player

Rico is a team player and appreciated by Pep and others that realise football is a team game.
The rags and media glorify showy players as it's easier to understand what they do.

Jordi Cruyff springs to mind.

The rags can breathe a sigh of relief, but Blackpool will be throwing their arms up in sheer despair - Steve Bruce is back!

You can not pretend if you want to, but from everything I've seen of him he's nothing but a very average midfielder in whom I struggle to see any real potential let alone current standout ability.

Selfish when he has possession of the ball and often makes poor decisions.. and lazy and lacking basic positional awareness when he doesn't have the ball.

If he played for any other club I guarantee you would have barely been aware of him as a footballer.

Fortunately for us united are now stuck with having to play him regardless of his lack of ability due to the hype that they and their client media have built up around him.

Don't believe the hype.

Just seen the second Diaz goal, Mainoo is just jogging back and Diaz just sprints right past him to knock in the goal, Mainoo had no idea he was there and no drive or awareness to go with him

Rag rejects will end up at Blackpool now I suppose.....

Is his son, Alex, still involved ?
Cannot believe he needs the money ?
Hope it doesn't turn out as badly for Blackpool, as it did for Bradford City under Mark Hughes...
