Manchester United have registered Ghanaian youth midfielder Kobbie Mainoo in their UEFA Europa League B squad for the 2022/23 season.
The 17-year-old, whose style of play has been likened to Barcelona midfielder Frankie de Jong, has travelled to Spain with the first-team squad for a training camp in Andalusia.
Mainoo is one of the exciting youngsters who has been given an opportunity by the Dutch tactician.
The teenager who has been described by the Old Trafford club as a creatively outstanding player was born to Ghanaian parents in the Greater Manchester town of Stockport.
Mainoo joined Travis Binnion’s Under-18s squad in 2021 and excelled throughout the season, showing off excellent vision and technical ability in the middle of the park.
Manchester United will face Barcelona in the play-off in February 2023.
