Ever since I started my professional career I have never for once encountered this type of player before,His strength and Agility on ball needs to be investigated by FIFA,this is not ordinary”,Chelsea Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez reveals the ONE United player that shocked everybody yesterday – Not Fernandez and not Amad. IF NOT FOR ONE THING HE COULD HAVE WON THE MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD LAST NIGHT TOO
The football world is buzzing after Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez made headlines in his post-match press conference, singling out a Manchester United player for what he described as an “unbelievable and almost unnatural” performance during their intense Premier League showdown.
In a candid moment with reporters, Sánchez revealed that one particular United star left both Chelsea players and fans in awe — and surprisingly, it wasn’t Bruno Fernandes or young talent Amad Diallo.
“Ever since I started my professional career, I have never for once encountered this type of player before,” Sánchez admitted. “His strength and agility on the ball needs to be investigated by FIFA — this is not ordinary.”
While he stopped short of naming the player directly in the opening moments of the conference, Sánchez later confirmed it was Manchester United’s powerhouse midfielder Kobbie Mainoo who had shocked the Stamford Bridge faithful.
“The way he moves, shields the ball, and powers through tackles is unreal for someone his age. If not for one thing, he could have easily won the Man of the Match award last night too.”
Mainoo, who has been steadily growing into one of United’s standout performers this season, delivered a commanding display against Chelsea — combining relentless ball-carrying runs, fearless physicality, and slick passing that disrupted Chelsea’s midfield rhythm throughout the night.
Fans on social media erupted after Sánchez’s comments, with many agreeing that Mainoo’s performance was one of the most complete midfield showings seen in recent weeks.
Pundits praised the young England international’s maturity and technical brilliance under pressure. Former United legend Rio Ferdinand took to his social channels to echo the sentiment, saying, “We’ve got a serious player here — Mainoo’s ceiling is frightening.”
The remark about a potential FIFA “investigation” was clearly made in jest, but it perfectly captured the disbelief shared by players on the pitch and spectators alike.
As Manchester United continues to lean on its next generation of talent, it seems Kobbie Mainoo is fast becoming a name Premier League fans — and goalkeepers — won’t soon forget.
