Kobbie Mainoo’s Physique Leaves Manchester United Fans Stunned During Community Shield
Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo left fans in awe during the Community Shield against Manchester City, and it wasn’t just his impressive performance on the pitch that caught their attention. Just minutes into the match, United fans began to notice something "very different" about the 18-year-old midfielder – he’s grown!
Mainoo, who started for the Red Devils at Wembley on Saturday, has clearly bulked up in the space of a month, leaving many to wonder if he’s taken another physical leap this season. United fans flocked to social media to share their surprise, with one fan writing on Twitter, "Mainoo looks huge! Might have taken another physical leap this season." Another added, "Mainoo looks bigger every time I watch him."
The England youth international’s impressive physical development is a testament to his hard work during the summer break. Last season, Mainoo’s composure and ball-progressing ability earned him a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024, where he brought much-needed calm to the team during the knockout stages.
Despite the absence of several City stars, including John Stones, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, and Rodri, United’s youngsters like Mainoo rose to the occasion, with the midfielder looking typically unflustered on the pitch. After City wasted several great chances, United really should have taken the lead when Marcus Rashford curled a shot well wide of the far post.
The win for United is a promising sign for the new season, and fans are eager to see Mainoo build on his impressive start. With his new physique and growing confidence, he’s set to be a key player for the Red Devils in the coming campaign.
