Defensively, he made five recoveries, four tackles, two interceptions, one block and one clearance. He was also not dribbled past once in his 90-minute shift.The Old Trafford faithful will be hoping Mainoo can replicate such a five-star showing for the visit of arch-rivals Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
