“How good was Kobbie Mainoo?,” Richards asked.

“He’s such a talented young man, isn’t he?,” Lineker replied.

“Oh my world, he just gets better and better and better,” Richards continued.

“We analysed him when he first played for Man United and we talked about how calm he was on the ball. But it’s not just that, he runs forward, he’s got great feet, his passing range looks good. I think he still got work to do on the tactical side of things in terms of protecting his back-four a little bit more, but what a performance that was. He was amazing today, really.”
