In an exciting revelation, former Manchester City player Micah Richards has expressed his admiration for Kobbie Mainoo, the rising star of Manchester United and England.

Richards praised Mainoo's talent but also cautioned against placing too much pressure on him, highlighting the challenges that young players often face.

At just 18 years old, Mainoo is on the brink of stardom. His recent debut for England against Brazil showcased his potential.

Despite initially being left out of the squad, Mainoo was called up by manager Gareth Southgate and made a significant impact when he came on as a substitute in the match against Brazil.

Richards was impressed by Mainoo's performance, especially his composure and tactical awareness.

"He's really good, isn't he? We've been talking about him a lot," said Richards on the Rest is Football podcast.

"I just hope he can maintain this level consistently. Sometimes, young talents can struggle due to injuries or other reasons, and we don't want that to happen."

Overall, Richards believes Mainoo has what it takes to succeed, but it's important to manage expectations and support him as he continues to develop.
