‘Unbelievable to score first Old Trafford goal’: Mainoo reflects on Liverpool heroics

Speaking to Sky Sports after scoring his first goal at Old Trafford in Man United’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool, Kobbie Mainoo said: “Disappointed to be honest. I think we performed really well in the second half. The lads made minor mistakes and if we iron them out then we win the game.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling to score my first Old Trafford goal and to do it in this fixture was even more special. We didn’t get the three points and that’s the main thing.

“Mistakes happen in games and they can be detrimental. It’s tough and it takes it out of you. Again, details that we’ve missed. I have my own jobs in the team but the flick on got to him in space.”

Mainoo helped Man United make the comeback by scoring his third goal of the 2023/24 season, and his first in a home game for the Red Devils. Despite his heroic performance, the Red Devils couldn’t get the job done and remain far away in the race for Champions League qualification.
