Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has already held talks with Kobbie Mainoo about his first team exploits.

Mainoo has enjoyed a meteoric rise at club and international level this season.

The teenager started for England in a friendly draw against Belgium during the international break, while coming off the bench in a friendly against Brazil.

"Yes [I'm aware of the risk], but we have discussed this before. So far, he handles it very well, and if he crosses the line, of course, I, as a manager, we, as coaches, will interfere," Ten Hag explained on Friday.

"But so far it is not necessary because he wants to play football, he wants to win.

He wants to give his best every day because he wants to improve, he just wants to have fun on the pitch."
