Manchester United fans love to see a young player step up into the first team and the rise of Kobbie Mainoo has arguably been the biggest positive of this season.
Mainoo has showed poise and composure far beyond his years and has been a shining light in a disappointing campaign.
United have called upon another youngster of late with Willy Kambwala stepping up to partner Harry Maguire in the heart of defence.
Kambwala impressed against Liverpool but had a few more problems in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Bournemouth.
The Frenchman has shown enough talent to suggest that he could feature in the United first team for years to come.
Intriguingly, Erik ten Hag wanted to use another young United defender in recent weeks – but has been prevented from doing so.
