Following his outstanding goal against Liverpool, Kobbie Mainoo received a ton of appreciation from Manchester United supporters.

Luis Diaz had given Liverpool the lead at Old Trafford, but Bruno Fernandes pulled one back before Mainoo’s outstanding effort put United ahead.

Even though Mohamed Salah’s penalty subsequently gave Liverpool a 2-2 draw, the 18-year-old Mainoo’s strike garnered a lot of attention since he had an incredible breakout season.

Federico Macheda’s iconic strike for United against Aston Villa 15 years ago, when the 17-year-old scored what turned out to be a pivotal goal in the title chase, was compared to that game this week.

Mainoo’s strike, which was his third goal overall, was scored in a manner reminiscent of Macheda’s.

“Mainoo doing a Macheda there, 15 years on from the original,” noted journalist Mark Ogden on X.

A United supporter commented, “Mainoo is a world-class man,” in the interim.

A further supporter called Mainoo’s goal ‘amazing’. “KOBBIE MAINOO YOU BEAUTY,” they wrote. OMG, what a goal. “Maino, that is amazing.”

Recently, Mainoo made his senior England debut. One user called him a ‘generational talent’. “England has discovered true and true Generational Talent; this one isn’t going to flop,” they stated.

“He goes by the nаme KOBBIE MAINOO. What a Player!” What a feat! “.

Journalist Richard Amofa also likened Macheda’s endeavor to Mainoo’s objective.

He tweeted identical pictures of both goals and commented, “April 5, 2009: Macheda for Man Utd vs. Aston Villa April 7, 2024: Mainoo for United vs. Liverpool.”
