Manchester United striker Alejandro Garnacho has praised Kobbie Mainoo after he scored twice in a six-goal thriller against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Mainoo impressed the crowd at Leigh Sports Village with an impeccable display in front of goal. His first came from a corner to the back post which found Mainoo unmarked to fire home.
The 17-year-old's second came when the Seagulls failed to clear a corner and the midfielder, who had moved into the forward line at the break, fired a shot home from around the penalty spot. Taking to Instagram after the match, Mainoo shared a picture of him celebrating his opening goal with the caption: "2 piece".

A host of United's academy prospects sent their best wishes to Mainoo in the comments below and they were led by Garnacho who, having impressed with the youngsters, has managed to become a regular in the first team squad. His complimentary message to the Stockport-born player simply read: "The best," accompanied by a goat emoji.
Despite his display it was not enough for the Reds to secure victory this weekend. Having equalised through Mainoo's second of the game, United looked to be on their way to defeat when Evan Ferguson capitalised on a Radek Vitek mistake to tap home.
However, the 'keeper's blushes were spared with seven minutes of normal time remaining as defender Bjorn Hardley rose highest to head home. The draw meant that United's U21s are still searching for their first victory of the Premier League 2 season.
