Yesterday, in the 97th minute, Mainoo scored a magnificent goal that proved to be the game-winning goal. The academy product produced a solo run and a curling finish.
With the 18-year-old scoring his first goal in the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Wolves by a score of 4-3. Wolves had come back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game in stoppage time throughout the encounter.
Daniel Killeen, a follower of Manchester United, posted on Twitter that he had watched the match with his father Vincent, who sadly passed away on Sunday due to cancer related complications.
Killeen expressed his gratitude to Mainoo for providing his family with a “truly brilliant and special moment” during the event that would also be the final match that he would watch with his father.
Killeen expressed her frustration on social media by writing, “When Wolves equalized, we were both so frustrated.” “I have never wished for United to score more than that moment, and then Kobbie Mainoo comes up with an incredible winner,” the coach said.
“When I saw my father with his arm up in the air, looking at me with a smile on his face, and saying, “That’s why you watch United,” Upon observing that you were conducting an interview, he requested that I remain in order for him to be able to listen to it.
I am aware that football should be about winning trophies, but Kobbie, you will never score a goal that is more significant for our family than the one you just scored.
You have already established yourself as a hero in our home, and my son, who is seven years old, has chosen you as his favorite athlete.
“I want to express my gratitude for a very remarkable and amazing moment. Your career will undoubtedly bring you a great number of them.
In response to Killeen’s emotional post on X, which was originally known as Twitter, Man United and Mainoo extended an invitation to the Man United supporter and his son to attend a match, which was held at Old Trafford.

A teenager named Mainoo scored the game-winning goal, which was his second goal since making his debut with Manchester United’s first squad.
The previous match, which was a match between Man United and Newport County in the FA Cup fourth round, was the one in which the 18-year-old player had started his account.
An impressive season has been had by Mainoo at Old Trafford, where he has made 16 appearances for the first team across all competitions.
This is a significant accomplishment for the academy product.
