Jamie Carragher has opened up on the one Manchester United player he thinks is 'destined to be a superstar', with the former Liverpool defender claiming he 'loves watching the youngster play.'
Erik ten Hag's side kick off their Premier League campaign at Old Trafford on Friday night against Fulham, with United gunning to get their 2024-25 season off to a flying start.
Over the summer, questions have arisen over the future of two United midfielders, Scott McTominay and Casemiro.
Fulham have reportedly been keen to sign the Scottish midfielder, with Mail Sport understanding the London outfit have launched several bids for the United star. Speculation has also arisen over Casemiro's future at the club - with the Brazilian having underwhelmed last season.
Yet, one United midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo, is being backed as the future of the club, with the 19-year-old England star receiving the plaudits of Carragher, Roy Keane and Gary Neville ahead of tonight's Premier League curtain raiser.

'I think he has been an absolute revelation. I love watching him play and what he did in the summer,' Carragher told Sky Sports.
'He came through last season, we were asking questions about United’s midfield. It was Casemiro needs a partner, now it’s Mainoo needs a partner. I think he is going to be a superstar.'
Mainoo dazzled at this summer's European Championships with England having broken into Erik ten Hag's side last season.
The centre midfielder would feature in all but one of England's Euro 2024 matches, helping England reach the final.
Former Man United midfielder, Keane, praised the youngster for his maturity and ability to 'make things look easy'.
'What he [Mainoo] has shown is a lot of maturity. He has to back it up, you are playing in the middle of the park for Man United,' Keane added.
'But he made it look very easy, his reading of the game and maturity. Hopefully he can back it up injury-free. I have been hugely impressed and fingers crossed.

He was praised by the Sky Sports pundits for his maturity and technical brilliance in midfield
Roy Keane agreed with Carragher's praise for Mainoo adding he had been 'hugely impressed'
Neville concurred, adding that Mainoo has 'handled big games from minute one' at United
Neville concurred, adding: 'He has handled big games from minute one. Cup finals, scoring in cup finals, big away games. He was the player in such a poor team that you could rely on.
'To then do what he did in the tournament, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Gallagher had played there and he became the answer. What a mesmerising start, the only thing that can stop him is himself.'
