To celebrate his birthday, Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo shared an adorable childhood photo of himself on Instagram. Marking his 19th birthday, Mainoo uploaded a series of pictures, including one where he’s seen with his mother and relatives, beaming in a Manchester United AIG kit from his youth. Among the highlights, he posted a snapshot of himself getting a tattoo, along with a playful image alongside his brother, former Love Island contestant Jordan Mainoo-Hames.
One notable photo featured him in a parking lot, wearing a blue jacket with black and white stripes—likely prompting a chuckle from Paul Scholes, who has previously commented on players’ fashion choices. Another image showed him enjoying time at Old Trafford with teammate Diogo Dalot.
In a charming throwback, a younger Mainoo lounged in the sun, wearing sunglasses and the AIG kit, which was the club’s sponsor from 2006 to 2010. Beneath the post, he expressed gratitude for the birthday messages with “+1, Thanks for the messages.”
Teammates and fans flooded the comments with heartfelt wishes and emojis. His brother Jordan shared a loving message, while others praised Mainoo’s style and demeanor. As he looks forward to the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry at Wembley, Mainoo hopes to receive a winning birthday present on the field.
