Manchester United starlet Kobbie Mainoo, 18, has played just 20 minutes for England and he's already claimed a honour before 80-cap legend Gary Lineker

Teenager Kobbie Mainoo has played just 20 minutes for England and he's already claimed a honour before 80-cap legend Gary Lineker.

The Manchester United midfielder continued his stunning rise by making his senior Three Lions debut against Brazil on Saturday.

The 18-year-old had made just 23 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side before taking to Wembley in the 1-0 defeat.

Mainoo was handed a commemorative England legacy cap by Gareth Southgate to mark the occasion.

England adopted the tradition of legacy numbers to mark the team's 1000th game in November 2019 - with debutants only receiving caps from September 2021 onwards.
