Gary Neville fears Pep Guardiola will want to poach Man United star after 'mesmerising' Everton performance

Gary Neville fears Kobe Mainoo's impressive debut against Everton will be enough to prick the interest of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, as the 18-year-old looked the best player on the pitch at Goodison Park.

Manchester United continued their fine league form with a 3-0 victory at Goodison Park, with Erik ten Hag's men winning their first match of the season by more than a one goal margin.

Manchester United managed to stifle the angry Goodison atmopshere with one of the greatest goals the Premier League has ever seen from Alejandro Garnacho.

The Argentine's 'perfect' bicycle kick got the ball rolling for Manchester United who were far from their best, but managed to withstand the Everton pressure and go on to secure victory with second half goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

Despite Garnacho's heroics, there was another teenager on the field who stole the show, with 18-year-old Kobe Mainoo making his first Premier League start.

Kobe Maino was the class of the field, and dictated the play from midfield with excellent short and long range passing.

One of the most impressive aspects of Mainoo's performance was his composure, with youngster rarely made a poor decision on the ball and looked like he had decades of experience in front of a very hostile crowd.

Gary Neville was quick to praise Mainoo for how he handled the occasion.

"He’s gone in here at Goodison Park, in what could have been the most ferocious atmospheres for many a year in a hostile environment, and he looked class.

"We know he’s class, but he looked class in that environment."

You'd think most Manchester United fans would be over the moon with Mainoo's full debut, but Gary Neville is actually concerned that the English youngster played too well.

"The biggest compliment I can pay him, and it hurts to say this, I hope people can take this in the right spirit… he looked like a Manchester City player.

"Honestly, I was watching him and thinking, ‘that’s a player that Pep Guardiola will be looking at and thinking, I want him in my midfield, that’s what my midfield players do."
