Kobbie Mainoo showed his class on and off the pitch as Manchester United beat Manchester City to win the FA Cup on Saturday.

United won a second trophy under Erik ten Hag in what could well be the Dutchman's final game in charge of the club.

They have now secured qualification for next season's Europa League and ended City's 35-game unbeaten run.

Mainoo scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory, in addition to producing a Man of the Match display at Wembley.

The 19-year-old midfielder played with such maturity on the big stage and he displayed that in abundance during the post-match celebrations.

United's stars were all in jubilant mood in the dressing room after the triumph, celebrating with the cup.

The entire squad and Ten Hag took a photo and then the champagne was sprayed all over courtesy of Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez.

But Mainoo was quick to react and brilliantly pushed Amad Diallo out of the way.

The Ivorian is a devout muslim and abstains from any type of association with alcohol.

A video of the gesture widely circulated online and though the champagne handed out by FA is believed to be non-alcoholic, Mainoo was hailed for his actions.

One said: "There’s only a few youngsters that come across world class, and I’m telling you now he’s one of them. Exceptional player and an even better person."

A second commented: "What Kobbie did, showed how good of a teammate he is - respectful and conscious of his surroundings. Makings of a future captain, I hope."

A third praised: "Kobbie Mainoo 19, footballing intelligence and socially and culturally aware. Just when you thought you couldn't love this guy much more.

Another added: "It's non alcoholic but the gesture is still nice."

A final user posted: "This is so class from Kobbie. Immediate reaction to get amad away."
