United's decision to stick with Ten Hag came after a challenging Premier League season, marked by inconsistency and unmet expectations. And Mainoo is excited to continue his development under the Duch tactician. The midfielder's journey over the past few months has been nothing short of remarkable. At just 19 years old, he has cemented his place in Manchester United's first team and earned a spot in the England squad. This rapid ascent <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kobbie-mainoo-tipped-to-be-england-new-paul-gascoigne-euro-2024-gareth-southgate-told-must-start-man-utd-star/blt96c5b1ed824ddaae" target="_blank">underscores the young midfielder's dedication </a>and the trust placed in him by Ten Hag.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Happy to be building with him. It’s nice to have that peace of mind, we know what manager we’re going back to in the new season," Mainoo told reporters.“He’s already got two trophies. Hopefully, there are more to come. I’m so grateful to him, I can’t thank him enough.”

WHAT MAINOO SAID

England's next challenge in the Euro 2024 group stage is a match against Denmark, a fixture where <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/how-to-follow-bruno-fernandes-kobbie-mainoo-manchester-united-players-euro-2024/blt4830fb5a58427eea" target="_blank">Mainoo might face off against Manchester United teammates</a> Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen.“They’re both great teammates to me. Rasmus is young like me so I am always around him. I am trying to learn and pick up from Christian,” he said. “If I’m to play on Thursday I’ll have to put that to the side compete against him and hopefully get the win." Mainoo's<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kobbie-mainoo-must-start-england-euro-2024-classy-man-utd-midfielder-three-lions-next-level/blt0d0549d565d9b4b0" target="_blank"> readiness to contribute</a>, whether starting or coming off the bench, exemplifies his professional attitude. He acknowledges the stiff competition within the squad, particularly in the midfield, where players like Jude Bellingham also vie for a spot. "I’m ready to play, whether that’s off the bench or starting. Obviously, there are other great midfielders in the squad in the Premier League or abroad like Jude. I’m trying to train hard and be ready when I’m called upon," Mainoo explained.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mainoo's gratitude and enthusiasm reflect the positive environment that Ten Hag has cultivated. As the new season approaches, United are looking to build on their FA Cup victory and strive for further glory.
