Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney praised Kobbie Mainoo afer their FA Cup final defeat of Manchester City.

Mainoo scored the winner on the day.

"Mainoo, Kobbie Mainoo, for such a young lad, take his goal out of it, the composure he has shown on the ball for such a young lad has been excellent," Rooney said.

"Incredible. It's so good to see a player from the Academy coming through and dictating the games for Manchester United.

"He's had some moments when he's struggled as well since he's been in the first team, but I think this afternoon he's been absolutely [brilliant]. You look as his composure on the ball, little passes, little one-twos, playing people in behind - I think he's been incredible."
