Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo celebrated his 20th birthday in a special way by revisiting a memorable image from his childhood.
The original photo, which previously went viral, showed a young Mainoo wearing a 2008 Manchester United kit and sunglasses—an early sign of his lifelong connection to the club.
To honour his milestone birthday, Mainoo recreated the image, much to the delight of fans who have followed his journey from a young supporter to a key figure in United’s first team. The updated photo reflects his growth both as a footballer and as a fan living his dream.
The celebration comes shortly after Mainoo's standout performance in United's dramatic 5–4 win over Lyon in the UEFA Europa League quarter-final, where he netted a last-minute goal. His goal celebration paid tribute to teammate Joshua Zirkzee, who is currently sidelined due to injury, highlighting Mainoo’s team spirit and emotional maturity.
In a special birthday feature with the club, the England international also opened up about his personal life, discussing his favorite places to eat in Manchester, musical tastes, and ambitions for the future.
Mainoo now looks ahead to a Europa League semi-final clash against Athletic Club and a Premier League showdown with Wolves, as he continues to play a crucial role in United’s season.
