Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole believes Kobbie Mainoo has a bright future at Old Trafford after enjoying a positive pre-season.

The 18-year-old midfielder has been in and around the United first team squad for around a year but started to make an impression on boss Erik ten Hag when he made his FA Cup debut against Reading in January.

This was soon followed by his Premier League bow against Leicester City in February as Mainoo continued to blossom with the Reds' U21s.

United's faith in Mainoo has been highlighted by this summer's pre-season with the Stockport born player starting in the victories against Leeds, Lyon and Arsenal.
