Wes Brown has challenged Kobbie Mainoo to mix it with first-team players at Manchester United after scoring on his mid-season friendly appearance vs Spanish opponents Cadiz.
With the domestic schedule currently on hold, Erik ten Hag and a mixed group have jetted over to Spain for warm-weather training and two games while other players are on World Cup duty. Their programme started with a defeat to Cadiz as Anthony Martial and Mainoo netted in a high-scoring contest on Wednesday night.
It was a moment to savour for 17-year-old Academy product Mainoo, though, as he picked up the ball soon after his introduction at half-time and deflected an effort past the Cadiz goalkeeper. Ten Hag brought the Stockport-born frontman on with nine other changes at the interval.
