Man Utd boss Ten Hag: Mainoo is the ideal modern midfielder

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits Kobbie Mainoo is a special talent.

The 18 year-old proved the matchwinner at Wolves last night.

"Mainoo is simply everything a modern midfielder needs to be," said Ten Hag.

"It's great to see and I hope he stays as calm as he is. He is determined, has character and I hope he continues to develop."

This season, Mainoo has scored two goals in 13 games for United.

The teen has a contract with United to 2027.
