Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo has given his honest opinion on his EA FC 25 rating ahead of the release of the game later this month.

The latest edition of EA FC will be released to the general public on September 27, although gamers who pre-order the Ultimate Edition will be able to get their hands on it a week earlier on September 20.

The top 25 men's players in the game have already been confirmed, with three men tied for the top spot - Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and Rodri.

A number of other player ratings have also been leaked ahead of the official release, including the Manchester United squad.

Mainoo, 19, enjoyed a breakthrough season in the 2023/24 campaign and is now a regular first-team player for the Red Devils.

As a result, he has seen his EA FC rating rise sharply in the new edition of the game.

He's gone from an overall rating of just 62 in EA FC 24 to a new rating of 77 in the space of just 12 months.

Mainoo has been changed from a bronze card in Ultimate Team to gold, and now has 74 pace, 66 shooting, 74 passing, 81 dribbling, 73 defending and 72 physical.

Speaking to the official Premier League YouTube channel, England international Mainoo correctly guessed his new rating and was seemingly happy with it.

"I think I am a decent dribbler. I think it's fair," Mainoo said.

"When I was younger, I always liked dribbling. In futsal, playing in the park… that's what I enjoy doing. That's what i enjoyed watching when I was younger.

"It's one of the things I enjoy about football."

However, Manchester United fans believe Mainoo – who is now an important player for both club and country – should be rated higher.

"Could have been 80 at least it's a disrespect," one fan posted on X.

"Should be at least 80 tbh. I know its his second year at senior club but what he showed for both club and country he deserves more than this," added another.

A third wrote: "We all know if he was playing for Madrid or Barca he would have had 90."

While a fourth wrote: "77 feels way to low for him."
