Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo is having a breakthrough season at Manchester United, and the 18-year-old midfielder is seemingly mature for his age.

Touted as one with a bright future, experienced midfielder Christian Eriksen has reserved praise for Mainoo.

Speaking about how he feels about Kobbie Mainoo, who is having a breakthrough season at Man United, Christian Eriksen said: “I’m very impressed.

“Luckily I’ve seen him in training and I’ve seen him [from] close by. I really like what I see. I mean, he’s an exceptional player.

“He’s still a very young lad, but he’s doing really well, and he’s getting his spot in the team. (My advice would be) Just like what he’s doing: being available for training and showing his qualities in the game, which he has done.

“Then obviously it’s up to the manager to choose and to play him and get his confidence from there. But I think at the moment and how he’s behaved in the first team around us has been really good. I think he’s in a good spot.”
