Michael Carrick insists he hasn’t had to coach Kobbie Mainoo back into form at Manchester United, with his natural talent instead helping him to settle back into the side alongside a “couple of pointers.”
Mainoo has started all five of United’s Premier League games under Carrick so far, having not started in the league under former boss Ruben Amorim since May 2025. The former boss accused fans of English football of overhyping Mainoo, but Carrick believes the excitement surrounding the 20-year-old is justified.
