'Kobbie Mainoo, take a f*cking bow' - Man Utd wonderkid labelled 'the Liverpool killer' by fans after 'doing a Macheda' with stunning strike against Jurgen Klopp's side

<p>Mainoo scored an exquisite goal for United to give them the lead against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Saturday. As the Red Devils broke up the pitch, the ball fell to the midfielder just inside the box and he was able to curl a brilliant effort into the top corner, leaving fans and pundits agog. </p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Journalist <a href="https://twitter.com/MarkOgden_/status/1777002221273501715" target="_blank">Mark Ogden</a> drew a comparison with Federico Macheda's famous last-minute winner FOR United against Aston Villa in 2009, saying: "Mainoo doing a Macheda there, 15 years on from the original."</p><p>Match of the Day host <a href="https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/1777002553420488995" target="_blank">Gary Lineker</a> added: "Mainoo for Man Yoo!

What a goal. You'd think he's got a controller in his leg."</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Mainoo had never scored at Old Trafford, with his two previous goals coming away from home against Wolves in the league and Newport County in the FA Cup. His strike came at an ideal time for the Red Devils, but their clash with Liverpool ended up finishing 2-2 as Mohamed Salah netted a late penalty.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United play Bournemouth next weekend and Mainoo will hope to continue his fine form, especially with Euro 2024 looming. It remains to be seen if he will be able to force his way into the England squad but a goal like this won't harm his cause. </p>
