The 18-year-old young star gave an impressive performance and received praise from the fans.
Donny Van de Beek’s fine volley in the second half gave Manchester United a tight win over Lyon in Edinburgh. NHM gave a lot of praise to the Dutch midfielder after this goal. However, besides that, another name that also showed an incredible performance was the young talent Kobbie Mainoo.
The 18-year-old was deployed as a defensive midfielder by Erik ten Hag in the first half and showed the necessary certainty.
Statistics show that Mainoo owned 48 touches and ended the game with a pass accuracy rate of up to 94% with 33 passes to teammates out of a total of 35 attempts.
Mainoo attempted to dribble once and completed it successfully, finishing the game with a long pass to the correct address.

He was scored 7 points by Sofascore, just behind Amad Diallo.
