Kobbie Mainoo announces his arrival on the international stage with audacious skill just seconds into his England debut... as fans insist the Man United starlet is a 'generational talent'

Kobbie Mainoo wasted little time showcasing his skills after coming on as a substitute to make his England debut.

In what is proving to be a whirlwind first season in senior football for the 18-year-old, Mainoo was promoted to Gareth Southgate's side earlier this week after initially being named in the Under-21 squad.

With Jordan Henderson unavailable through injury Mainoo was named on the bench for England's friendly with Brazil at Wembley.

With quarter of an hour remaining, Mainoo was brought on to replace Conor Gallagher in midfield and made an immediate impression.
