Kobbie Mainoo responds to ‘iconic’ celebration against West Ham

The moment in question came against West Ham United in last month’s 3-0 win at Old Trafford over the Hammers.

Garnacho scored, before heading to the advertising billboard to replicate the famous Cristiano Ronaldo celebration where he sat on the billboard.

He wasn’t alone though, with both Hojlund and Mainoo joining him as the three sat together, it was a photo which could become truly iconic if the trio were to be successful for United.

Now Mainoo has responded to this image in an interview with Sky Sports, showing his elite mentality as he said: “The picture is only iconic if we go on to do great things for this club.”

This is a great response and shows how grounded the midfielder is that he doesn’t think he’s made it already.
