Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United’s talented youngsters, have made a impressive showing in the 2024 Kopa Trophy rankings. Mainoo secured third place, while Garnacho finished in joint-sixth place alongside Paris Saint-Germain’s Joao Neves ¹.
The Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best player under 21, saw Barcelona’s 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal take the top spot, following in the footsteps of Pedri and Gavi, previous winners from the same club ¹.
