Manchester United wonderkid Kobbie Mainoo produced a special moment just four minutes into his senior England debut against Brazil.

The 18-year-old was a late inclusion into Gareth Southgate's squad on Tuesday, having impressed in United's 4-3 FA Cup quarter-final win against Liverpool on Sunday.

Mainoo was drafted in following concerns over Jordan Henderson's fitness - and ended up coming on ahead of the Ajax midfielder at Wembley.

And whilst the result didn't go England's way - they lost 1-0 thanks to an 80th-minute goal from Endrick - fans were still impressed by Mainoo's first cameo as a senior Three Lions player.

The midfielder's first touch of the ball at international level saw him take the ball from defence before confidently striding into midfield, and he looked full of composure throughout.

But there was one moment that caught fans' attention more than others.

On 80 minutes, Mainoo received the ball before chopping onto his left foot, and then promptly spun beyond Wolves midflelder Joao Gomes after holding him off.

One fan wrote: "We left with something."

A second said: "You can just see whenever he plays, he has it."

A third claimed: "Minutes into his England debut, doing this. Kobbie is generational."

A fourth opined: "How can you watch this boy and think it's hype... he will be a SUPERSTAR."

And a fifth simply stated: "Press at your own risk."

Speaking ahead of his England debut on Saturday, Mainoo told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Recently the games have been coming so fast for United, I've not really had the time to think about it [getting picked by England].

"I knew the international break was coming up so I thought about it a bit, but still we had so many big games that I couldn't really take my eye off the ball.

"Now I'm here, obviously I'm taking it all in and it's amazing."

Mainoo will hope to receive his second senior England cap when the Three Lions take on Belgium in another international friendly on Tuesday.
