Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho both sent messages of encouragement to Kobbie Mainoo following his brilliant performance in Wednesday's friendly vs Leeds.
Mainoo started in midfield and excelled during the opening 45 minutes at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, dictating play and spraying passes from deep. The 18-year-old came off at half-time with the scores at 0-0 as Erik ten Hag made wholesale changes.
Second-half goals from Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill handed United a 2-0 win against the Championship side, as Ten Hag kicked off pre-season with a comfortable victory.
