Star in the making - Fans hails young Mainoo as he steals the show in Man Utd's vs Liverpool
Manchester United fans showered 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo with praise after his stunning strike against arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Despite going down early to a goal by Luis Diaz, United clawed their way back into the match. Bruno Fernandes equalized for the Red Devils before Mainoo stole the show with a magnificent goal, putting United in the lead.
While the match ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw, with Mohamed Salah converting a late penalty for Liverpool, Mainoo's performance remained a major talking point.
The youngster is enjoying a breakout season, and his goal against Liverpool marks his third of the campaign.
