Both goals for Erik Ten Hag’s United were scored by Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, before Jeremy Doku pulled one back for the Cityzens very late.
According to ESPN FC: “Manchester United and England legend Paul Scholes tells fans to not ‘waste their time’ comparing Kobbie Mainoo to him, who he says is ’10 times the player’ he was at 19.
“The highest of praise.”
