Liverpool legend, Graeme Souness, believes Manchester United midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo has not yet become a ‘good player’ at the moment.

According to Souness, the England international should be a player that is flitting in and out of a good team.

He spoke following Man United’s Premier League 3-0 defeat to Liverpool over the weekend.

“I have to say this, I’m not being unkind, Mainoo might be a player, but it’s so Man United,” Souness told talkSPORT.

“But when someone comes on the scene at Man United, in my days they were the ‘new George Best’, or the ‘new Bobby Charlton’, the ‘new Denis Law’.

“If anyone shows anything, they are put into the superstardom category, way before they have even become a good player.

“Mainoo right now should be a player that’s flitting in and out of a good team – not coming in and being asked to stand up and play against the very best teams.

“He might be a player one day, but he’s certainly not the go-to man at United like they are making him out to be in midfield.”
