Manchester United fans are furious as Kobbie Mainoo excludes Cristiano Ronaldo from his list of top three idols at the club.

Mainoo, being part of a prestigious club like United, is immersed in a rich history and a legacy of legendary players. Among them stands Cristiano Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who made his mark at Old Trafford in the 2000s before moving to Real Madrid and returning to United in 2021.

While Ronaldo’s departure just before Mainoo’s senior debut may have limited their direct interactions, it’s likely that Mainoo had the chance to train alongside the Portuguese star.

However, in a surprising turn of events, when asked to name his top three United icons during an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Mainoo omitted Ronaldo from his list, instead choosing Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes, and Eric Cantona as his United icons.

Although Cantona played before Mainoo’s era, he remains an iconic figure whose influence goes beyond his skills on the field.

Mainoo’s selections highlight the lasting legacy and cultural significance of these United legends, demonstrating his respect for the club’s history despite not experiencing Cantona’s era firsthand.

While the omission of Ronaldo from his list may be surprising, Mainoo’s choices deserve respect and admiration.
