English-born Ghanaian descent, Kobbie Mainoo, has been named Manchester United’s Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year for the 2022/23 season.
The 18-year-old received the award during Man United’s Premier League game against Chelsea on Thursday night at Old Trafford.
Mainoo made his maiden appearance for the first team in the League Cup over Charlton Athletic back in January but has been unavailable for the latter part of the season due to injury.
The midfielder also had two more games for Erik ten Hag’s side against Reading and Leicester City in the FA Cup and Premier League respectively.
He wins the award for the first time taking over from Argentine international Alejandro Garnacho, who also won it last season before becoming a first-team regular this season.
Earlier this month, the Man United manager tipped the youngster to follow in the footsteps of the Argentine as he chases regular first-team chances.
“We want to develop players into the first team. So I think we are also in a good way in that perspective: Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo is also on his way. There is a pathway to the first team – but they have to deserve it,” Ten Hag told the media.
The youngster is highly regarded by the club and would slowly be integrated into the team to ensure his development goes to plan. He played a vital role in United’s FA Youth Cup win last year.
He also signed a new long-term contract at the club in February 2023 having only signed his first professional contract in May 2022.
Mainoo, despite playing for England’s youth teams, is still eligible to play for Ghana.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
