Nemanja Vidic, the ex-captain of Manchester United, likened Kobbie Mainoo to Luka Modric of Real Madrid after the young player scored in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday. Following Bruno Fernandes’ equalizer to Luis Diaz’s goal, Mainoo’s fantastic finish helped United take the lead with just over 20 minutes left in the game. The young player from England made a sharp turn near the penalty area and beautifully curled the ball into the top corner to score his first goal at Old Trafford.
