And that is as an example. And the others can take that. and so they can build on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And I&#8217;m sure he will be the communicator. I&#8217;m sure he will be the example of desire and passion. And I think especially that you need in this game.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former United midfielder Roy Keane suggested that it was an excellent opportunity for Kobbie Mainoo to impress.<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old was named in the starting lineup at Anfield and Keane feels that the experience will be hugely valuable for the talented youngster. In addition, Keane praised Mainoo&#8217;s temperament.<\/p>\n<p>Keane said: &#8216;He&#8217;s got good composure we&#8217;ve seen him at Everton, good decision making his passing was fine but playing Everton and Liverpool is obviously like chalk and cheese. They obviously have great trust in him. He&#8217;s got a nice temperament.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/17\/16\/79058493-0-image-a-4_1702831820729.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Roy Keane praised Kobbie Mainoo&#8217;s temperament after the youngster started versus Liverpool<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/17\/16\/79058497-0-image-a-5_1702831829554.jpg\" height=\"430\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Keane says that on some occasions in previous games Mainoo has taken too many touches<\/p>\n<p>Keane suggested that Mainoo takes too many touches at times, which is something he should look to address.<\/p>\n<p>Keane said: &#8216;The one thing I&#8217;d looked at when he played against Everton he was taking too many touches in around his own box. You&#8217;ve got to be careful here today at Anfield because if they nick it off you they will punish you but he&#8217;s a young lad why not throw him in. If you want to be a United player, then he&#8217;s got to get used to playing in these environments.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12874193\/Erik-ten-Hag-Scott-McTominays-leadership-captains-Manchester-United-Liverpool-Roy-Keane-Kobbie-Mainoo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik ten Hag praises Scott McTominay&#8217;s leadership qualities as midfielder captains Manchester United against Liverpool while Roy Keane says youngster [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300819,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
