If you watched Sunday afternoon's encounter at Goodison Park without any knowledge of Manchester United, you would have been forgiven for not realising it was Kobbie Mainoo's first-ever Premier League start.
One day shy of exactly four months since he last appeared for the first time, he produced an outstanding performance at the base of United's midfield.
Chosen ahead of summer signing Sofyan Amrabat to marshal the engine room, the youngster left his calling card, leaving onlookers in awe.
Mainoo's only previous Premier League experience had amounted to just 10 minutes, coming on as a substitute in United's 3-0 win over Leicester City at Old Trafford back in February.
