In a heartfelt gesture, Ghanaian midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has signed the Book of Condolence opened in memory of the late Manchester United and England legend, Sir Bobby Charlton.

The football world mourned the passing of the 1966 FIFA World Cup winner, who left this world on Saturday, October 21, 2023, at the age of 86.

Kobbie Mainoo, who hails from Ghana but is making his mark with the Red Devils, joined his Manchester United teammates, including club captain Bruno Fernandes and Jonny Evans, to pay their respects to the iconic figure.

Sir Bobby Charlton's contributions to English football history were immeasurable, including his pivotal role in England's 1966 World Cup triumph, which remains the sole World Cup title won by the nation.

Mainoo, an 18-year-old talent, had recently overcome an injury sustained during a pre-season friendly against Real Madrid.

His return to fitness is a morale booster for Manchester United, who are eager to turn their fortunes around in the UEFA Champions League.

The young midfielder had left a strong impression on manager Erik ten Hag during the preseason and was set for significant involvement in the new season before the setback.

His potential season debut in the UEFA Champions League game against Copenhagen was anticipated, offering a glimmer of hope for Manchester United as they strive to reverse their fortunes in the competition.
