Kobbie Mainoo reveals fashion item he cannot live without | OneFootball

Kobbie Mainoo - technically gifted on the pitch and fashionably intelligent off of it.

The Manchester United star has dominated the headlines this week, opening up on his love of fashion while he prepares to co-host GQ's Men of the Year event with fellow England star Cole Palmer next week.

Scroll through Mainoo's social media feeds and you will see stylish outfits, elegant restaurants and, of course, an array of Old Trafford snaps. But, there's more than meets the eye with this young player, as he revealed in an interview with GQ.

Sitting down to unveil the essential items he can't live without, Mainoo detailed an iconic United story that kickstarted his fashion beginnings.

"I've been wearing bucket hats a lot," he told British GQ. "I don't think it's just a summer hat, you know. I wear bucket hats all year round. Wear them low, style them different ways and when we won the FA Cup I wore a bucket hat, grabbed one out of the crowd and that's when people really started to see me wearing them.

"But I've been wearing them for a long time. I'd say it's an essential for me."

The Red Devils youngster also joked about releasing his own line of bucket hats. "I'm not sure you know. I'd have to make a whole brand for that. I like things pretty relaxed, more comfortable. I like to wear things more loose, not so tight."

The perfect evening outfit for Mainoo consists of a pair of jeans and a little leather jacket - a simple yet effective choice. His bag choice, however, is a little more extravagant.

"It's a pretty new one that I've got, Bottega, but to be honest it doesn't really matter the brand for me. I just need a bag. I hate having things in my pockets. Sometimes we have like a duffle bag that's too big and you can fill it up too much, then it's just too heavy and it hurts your shoulder.

"It's not too flashy, it's not got like brand or anything all over it. It's a nice color as well."
