Roy Keane insists Kobbie Mainoo reminds him of a former Man United team-mate... but disagrees with comparisons to Paul Scholes

Roy Keane has compared Manchester United wonderkid Kobbie Mainoo to one of his former team-mates at Old Trafford.

Mainoo has enjoyed an excellent breakthrough season at the club, establishing himself as a regular fixture in Erik ten Hag's side.

The 18-year-old's performances led to Gareth Southgate performing a U-turn and including him in the England squad for their upcoming friendlies with Brazil and Belgium - after he had previously been named in the U21 squad.

Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, produced by Sky Bet, Keane compared him to one of his former team-mates and it wasn't Paul Scholes.
