Fulham star Alex Iwobi has praised Kobbie Mainoo but has also revealed the Manchester United midfielder accidentally injured him during Saturday's Premier League clash between the two sides at Old Trafford. Iwobi suffered a hand injury during the game which ended in a 3-2 win for the Red Devils courtesy of substitute Benjamin Sesko's dramatic late winner.Mainoo has been back in action for Manchester United and back in the starting XI under Michael Carrick. The midfielder was rarely used by previous boss Ruben Amorim, leading to speculation he was "deeply frustrated" and could quit the club, but has started United's last three games which have resulted in wins over Arsenal, Manchester City and Fulham. Saturday's victory over Fulham saw the Red Devils move back into the top four of the Premier League after a thriller which saw the visitors make it 2-2 in the 91st minute thanks to an eye-catching goal from Kevin before Sesko bagged the winner minutes later.Carrick admitted after the game it was another important victory for his side. He told reporters: "This was a big game for us. They are a good team and they are close behind us in the league. I think this 'big game' thing is all part of the narrative. Every game is a big game and we have to treat it like that. Next week we move on, but today was a tough one. It was even tougher because everyone expected going into the game it would be different. But we didn't. We got our players mentally and physically right - and we got there in the end."Iwobi has revealed what it was like coming up against Mainoo and also revealed how the Manchester United star accidentally injured him. Speaking on his matchday vlog, Iwobi said: "Shout-out to Kobbie Mainoo. But Kobbie, you finished my hand. Kobbie, you absolutely finished my hand. This guy’s got Ghanaian strength!"The Fulham star also spoke about the match, adding: "It was a good game, we’d done well to get back into the game. Before that, VAR had done us dirty. It kind of saved us because they didn’t get a pen, but Samuel [Chukwueze]’s arm… I don’t know if he was offside. It was a good performance to bring it back. Shout out to Kevin for getting his first goal… what a goal by the way, that was a mad goal. And obviously Raul [Jimenez] doesn’t miss from the penalty spot. Obviously, we felt hard done by with them scoring in the last minute of the game. Appreciate the love and support."Looking for smarter football bets?

He’s had some real highs and he’s had some disappointments, that’s natural. I was similar myself when you’re young and coming through. It makes him better,  stronger and more experienced and he’s showing that. He’s a joy to watch. A big part of being a top player, is being able to cope with the environment. He came into the side at such a young age and played some big games. He’s played in finals for us and the Euros for England, playing a big part in those games too. So just being able to cope first off is a huge thing - and he’s proved he can. Kobbie’s in a good place at the moment and we’ve got to keep pushing him, supporting him and improving him."Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingCarrick will now be aiming to make it four wins in a row on Saturday when Manchester United return to action in the Premier League against Tottenham at Old Trafford.
