Kobbie Mainoo all smiles with England Man of the Match award on full debut

Kobbie Mainoo was named Man of the Match on his full England debut last night.

Manchester United Football Club have always been known for producing young talents. That mantra is not changing under Erik ten Hag. Credit to the Dutchman, who has been more than willing to give academy products their chance.

This one was a massive message to all his doubters, claiming that Mainoo was only in the team because of the club team he plays for. Now, they all know it’s far more than that. He’s an unreal footballer with the world at his feet.

It’s just so scary that he’s only eighteen years of age. To play with such calmness and maturity is truly a credit to his persona.

Congratulations, Kobbie!
