Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has described teammate Kobbie Mainoo as the club’s best player, highlighting the English-Ghanaian’s exploits in the FA Cup final.

The two teenagers were the scorers of the Red Devils' two goals when Erik ten Hag’s team beat Man City 2-1 on Saturday to win the FA Cup.

Mainoo got on the end of a beautiful, flowing move to score the winning goal for United against City at Wembley.

Marcus Rashford sprayed a ball to Garnacho, who found Bruno Fernandes, and after a stunning pass, Mainoo finished coolly beyond Stefan Ortega.

Garnacho told BBC One, "Incredible. The best player in the squad and he’s the youngest. We’re also good friends. I'm so happy for him."

He added, "Incredible. Nobody believed in us. But we’re a team, all together. We fought the game of our lives."

Kobbie Mainoo has been a key player for Man United all season, one of the bright spots in the team.

He has since been handed a spot in England’s provisional squad for the 2024 European Championships.
