Mainoo. We’ve been championing him for a few years now. What a talent, and he comes across as a lovely lad too. Hopefully he can stay focused on his football, he seems to have a good group of mates in the team in Garnacho and Amad who want to win things. A problem we’ve had in recent times has been players who are a negative influence on each other. Jesse Lingard and Pogba for instance, Lingard and Rashford, Rashford and Sancho.
