Kobbie Mainoo reinforced his status as one of the Premier League’s most likable players with an extraordinarily beautiful gesture following Manchester United’s victory over Luton Town.

The 18-year-old midfielder played from the start and was by far United’s most composed player in their 2-1 victory over the weekend.

The only real downside to Mainoo’s performance is a yellow card, which puts him just two games away from a ban; nonetheless, it was widely acknowledged on commentary that the youngster’s challenge should not have even been awarded as a foul.

Since his debut at Goodison Park in November, Mainoo has established himself as a steady presence under Erik ten Hag, appearing in 15 games and starting 13.

The 18-year-old’s strong performances have spurred talk of a possible call-up to the England national team, with Gareth Southgate allegedly considering placing Mainoo in the squad for the upcoming matches against Brazil and Belgium next month.

With the selection of Jordan Henderson and Kalvin Phillips under constant scrutiny by fans and the media, it appears like Mainoo has a real chance to seal his place in the England squad with the Euros just around the corner.

It’s not just his on-field accomplishments that are drawing attention; the United player revealed what a tremendous guy he is in training on Monday morning.

The young midfielder made an unexpected cameo during an Under-8s training session on Monday, having completed his rehabilitation work with the senior side following their victory against Luton.

Mainoo, United’s current young player of the year, spent the following hour conversing and engaging with the kids during the session.

The pre-academy group was given the opportunity to observe the first-team training session in the morning. After that, the players took pictures with the kids and signed autographs.

This approach exemplifies Mainoo’s temperament, and it bodes well for Manchester United and England’s future to have such a humble young potential emerging.
