Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo has sent fans into a meltdown after turning Joe Gomez inside out with an incredible skill during England training.
The young midfielder has enjoyed a meteoric rise since he shot into prominence last season under Erik ten Hag.
Mainoo was impressive for United in the final weeks of the club's underwhelming 2023/24 campaign, playing a key part in their FA Cup triumph over Manchester City.

While he has not played a prominent role in the team thus far, the teenage sensation may have given Gareth Southgate a reason to look his way.
This after the United star turned Gomez inside out with an insane skill during the Three Lions' training session.
In a clip on social media, Mainoo can be seen with the ball during a small-sided game before the Liverpool ace confronts him to dispose of him.
However, the United academy product remains composed before flicking the ball backwards through his teammate's legs, leaving Gomez gasping for air.
The short video caught the eye of fans on social media, with @tether_bet joking:

@TerfaTG concluded:
"By the time he fills out physically, it will be impossible to dispossess him."
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen how England will line up for their last-16 clash against Slovakia.
The knockout tie is scheduled for Sunday, June 30.
Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mainoo is among eight players of Ghanaian origin representing their European nations at the Euros in Germany.
Most of the countries at this year's competition have a couple of players with dual nationalities or having their origins elsewhere.
