'I'm a Liverpool legend - but it's a Man Utd player who I think could become league's best' Dietmar Hamann may have made his name at Liverpool, but the former midfielder has tipped young Manchester United talent Kobbie Mainoo for greatness.
Mainoo, who has drawn comparisons to some of the Premier League's most versatile midfielders, offers a skill set that Hamann believes could make him a complete player.
“I think Kobbie Mainoo is a very interesting player,” Hamann said, adding: "The way he played for England in the summer was impressive.
Despite his own allegiances, Hamann believes the midfielder could become one of the league’s best.
His legendary status at Liverpool was cemented in the 2005 Champions League final, where he came on as a second-half substitute and played through the pain of a broken toe to help overturn a three-goal deficit against AC Milan.
