Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is thankful for his successful first-team debut.

The 17-year-old started his first game for the Red Devils against Charlton Athletic in the League Cup quarter final.

Mainoo was a solid performer for the side, as they emerged with a 3-0 win over their League One counterparts.

“I've been in training with the lads quite a few times," Mainoo told MUTV.

“They all made me feel welcome and all gave me words of advice and encouragement. So I felt at home."

“Pretty much today," he added on when he discovered he was starting.

“I looked at the teamsheet and I was starting. I was a bit shocked but I had to do my job. Yeah, there were some butterflies but it was just exciting.

“I played at Old Trafford in the Youth Cup and I remember that feeling was an amazing feeling. To have that again is brilliant."
