Kobbie Mainoo, the promising 18-year-old midfielder of Manchester United, is set to sit out the beginning of the 2023-24 season due to an ankle injury sustained during the pre-season.
Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo will miss the start of the 2023-24 campaign after suffering an ankle injury in pre-season.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who made his first-team breakthrough last season and was playing a prominent role on the summer tour of the United States, was injured in Thursday's friendly against Real Madrid in Houston.
Mainoo has flown back to Manchester for further assessment but a report on the club's website said he was "expected to be ruled out for the first part of the 2023-24 season".
Mainoo wrote on Instagram: "I'll be back stronger and in no time. Thanks for your messages of support."
