Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo is continuing to make a name for himself.

Mainoo was in action at the weekend for England’s under-17s side as they took on Armenia in qualifying for the European Championships.

England won the match 7-0 with Mainoo wrapping up the scoring with the seventh goal.

The strike was worth the wait, with Mainoo netting an impressive solo goal in the 89th minute.

Main-man

This was Mainoo’s first ever game for England at youth level and it was a great way to get started.

The Stockport-born 16-year-old made his debut for Manchester United’s under-18s side last year, aged just 15.

This season he has shifted from a wide role to play as a central midfielder and he has been hitting form.

Mainoo scored in his previous game for United’s under-18s, netting a header in a 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough and was arguably the best player on the pitch.

This season he has two goals and two assists so far for the under-18s.

The first team is a long way off but Mainoo is another super talented prospect who could develop into a big player in the future.
