Former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has commended midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, drawing parallels with Real Madrid star Luka Modric.
Vidic’s praise comes in the wake of the 18-year-old’s impressive goal during Manchester United’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the Premier League.

“Mainoo has been exceptional, particularly in his awareness on the field. At times, he reminds me of Modric,” Vidic remarked.
“He always seems aware of his surroundings. You could see it in his first touch, immediately shifting to the side before delivering a magnificent strike. It’s challenging to defend against that.”
