The magnitude of Mainoo's achievement

Kobbie Mainoo is in esteemed company when it comes to making his England debut at such a tender age.

The 18-year-old's achievement is also another feather in the cap for the Manchester United Academy, and something everybody throughout the club is extremely proud of.

Our homegrown midfielder was not fazed at all about making his senior international bow against Brazil at Wembley, and was heavily involved in the game after coming off the bench, along with Reds team-mate Marcus Rashford.

As he prepares for a possible second cap, against Belgium on Tuesday night, it is well worth putting Kobbie's feats into some context, with Opta detailing just how impressive it is for a player of his age to make the step up.
