Man United fans heap praise on Kobbie Mainoo as they call for 18-year-old midfielder to 'start every match' after display in Liverpool stalemate

Manchester United picked up an unlikely point at Anfield on Sunday and there was one player receiving the majority of the praise following the game.

18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo started the game in the absence of Bruno Fernandes and did not show his age one bit in the center of the park.

Mainoo, who started his first game for the club last month, played a key role as United showed grit that has been lacking for most of the season.

And United fans were quick to show their appreciation on social media.

One tweeted: 'Kobbie Mainoo should start every match he's fit to play from here on in.
