Kobbie Mainoo has quietly put together an impressive run of performances for Manchester United, and his recent match ratings highlight just how influential he has been in the middle of the pitch. 💪🏽🔥
Across his last five matches shown in the graphic, Mainoo’s ratings read:
⭐ Everton: 8.4
⭐ Sabah FK: 7.6
⭐ Manchester City: 8.0
⭐ Brighton: 6.6
⭐ Fulham: 7.4
That gives him an average of 7.6 across the five games pictured.
The standout performance came against Everton, where Mainoo registered an 8.4 and also provided an assist. He followed that up with another strong display against Manchester City, earning an 8.0 despite United suffering defeat. FotMob’s match data also records him among United’s better performers during this stretch.
Against Sabah FK, Mainoo was again heavily involved as United controlled the game, with one contemporary player-rating report giving him 8/10 and noting that he looked comfortable before being withdrawn after around an hour.
Even the lower 6.6 against Brighton needs some context. Mainoo only played 24 minutes in that match, meaning the rating came from a relatively short appearance.
Then came Fulham, where Mainoo played 81 minutes in United’s 1-1 draw. Another statistical provider gave him a 7.4, underlining that his contribution remained solid despite United struggling to control parts of the midfield.
📈 And there is an even bigger picture here.
Mainoo has been getting significant attention during the opening weeks of the 2026/27 campaign. FotMob currently lists him with a 7.66 Premier League rating, one assist and four starts from five league appearances in its current data.
His performances have also been recognised by Manchester United, with Mainoo included among the three nominees for the club’s September Player of the Month award alongside Matheus Cunha and Youri Tielemans.
🚨 The message from Mainoo’s recent numbers is clear: he is becoming increasingly influential again.
Whether operating deeper in midfield or pushing forward to influence attacks, the 21-year-old is showing flashes of the composed, technically gifted player United supporters have come to expect.
And with United still searching for consistency in midfield, Mainoo’s form could become one of the biggest talking points of the season. 👀🔴🔥
