Carrick says there is more to come from Man Utd star – and hails team-mate’s influence on his development | OneFootball

Michael Carrick says he is excited about what is to come from midfielder Kobbie Mainoo after helping his side to another win.

Mainoo started again under Carrick as United won their fourth game on the spin, beating Spurs 2-0.

The youngster had found himself out of favour under former boss Ruben Amorim but Carrick says he has been delighted with the 20-year-old, and also praised the influence of Casemiro alongside him.

“There’s definitely more to come from him and that’s just the stage he’s at in his career,” Carrick said.

“He’s just starting out really. He’s got so much experience under his belt in big occasions, in big games and in pressurised situations.

“That’s going to help him develop and learn the game, playing next to Casemiro and learning off him, things that he’s probably not even realising he’s picking up by playing next to him, as well as the other players around him.

“That’s part of his journey to learning and developing.

“I’m really conscious that he’s come in and played the four games and he’s found his rhythm. Young players have times when they are up and then might have a little dip but that’s not all of a sudden that he’s good or he’s a poor player.

“Kobbie is what he is and managing that is really important for us, especially for younger players and he’s done fantastic.

“He’s had a real big impact in games and we’ll keep working with him, helping him and improving him.”
