Beating Manchester City Will Be Huge For MUFC’s Season – Mainoo

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has highlighted the psychological significance of securing a victory over Manchester City. This comes as the two rivals prepare to clash at Old Trafford, and fans have been reacting.

Admitting that defeating Enzo Maresca’s side could serve as a massive catalyst for momentum in the Red Devils’ season, Mainoo stressed that the fixture means a lot to the players and fans.

Kobbie added that his crucial goal against Manchester City in the FA Cup final is a moment he’ll never forget.

His words, “It means a lot to me. I mean, coming up in the Academy, you play City twice a season and it’s always the biggest game.

You know that being a fan, but where the coaches would big it up, it’s always been a big rivalry for us, and so yeah, I’m really excited.

Any time you beat City it’s positive and it’s big for the season, like it helps boost the team, so we’re not going to take that lightly, and we know it’s a big one. Hopefully we come out winners.”

On his goal against City in the FA Cup, “It was a great day.

I mean, scoring in the derby any time is unbelievable, but in an FA Cup final, it’s just that much sweeter. And to go on and to win, yeah, it’s a day I’ll never forget.

The moment you dream of, like at Wembley, against your rivals, to win a trophy. It’s unbelievable. I’ve still got the bucket hat, still got some of the scarves from the game. Yeah, I’ll keep them forever!”
