Kobbie Mainoo: Man United star keeps alive another stunning club record
Last week was quite a week for Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo.
After spending 12 months out in the cold under Ruben Amorim, Mainoo has once again established himself as a key figure under Michael Carrick.
Reports suggested that the midfielder was close to leaving Manchester United in recent months, with SSC Napoli, Arsenal and Chelsea all very interested in his services.
Fortunately for United, he stayed, and his performances have sky-rocketed in recent months.
He was outstanding against Brentford on Monday of last week and then signed a new long-term deal at the club just under a week ago.
Mainoo marked this with another impressive outing versus arch-rivals Liverpool, capping it all off with the match-winner in front of the Stretford End on Sunday afternoon.
Kobbie Mainoo is maintaining a stunning club record that highlights his importance to the team.

The youngsterâs goal already carried great significance as it helped secure Unitedâs place in the Champions League next season.
Whatâs more, it sealed a first league double over Liverpool in a decade.
There was even more meaning to the beautiful strike, though, as the clubâs official website has pointed out.
The site states, âa homegrown product has scored in every seasonâ since the post-War era (1945).
This record was in huge jeopardy entering the final month of the season, but Mainooâs brilliance has kept the streak alive for another season.
The likes of Sir Bobby Charlton and Ryan Giggs contributed massively to this run over the years, with Sammy McIlroy bridging the gap between the two players.
The website states that the record was probably most at risk in the 2014â2015 season, but James Wilsonâs goal against Queens Park Rangers saved the day.
With talented attackers like JJ Gabriel, Chido Odi, Shea Lacey and Kai Rooney coming through the academy, this record will hopefully be safe for many years to come.
The club is also known for the highly impressive streak of having an academy player in every matchday squad since 1937.
