“On my first day at Carrington I came to watch the lads train.” Huddleston told the Sport Bible. “I talked to a friend on the way home and said. ‘There were two kids who stood out during training and one of them, Cobby Mainu looked like a young version of Yaya Toure.’
“To do what he is doing as an 18-year-old at a club of this level is great. It’s like he’s been playing for many years. He has the same calmness as anyone I’ve ever seen and that comes from a confident touch on the ball. His play with the ball and his ability to pass the ball.”
Mainu was also a key part of the side that won the FA Youth Cup against Nottingham Forest in May 2022 and was soon handed regular opportunities to impress by training alongside United’s first team.
