Summary of Man Utd stars performances: McTominay is helpless; Kobbie Mainoo made a incredible history

Kobbie Mainoo delivered a mature performance at the heart of England’s midfield on his first start for his country at Wembley this evening.

Though Mainoo earned his first cap on Saturday after coming off the bench against Brazil, he went one better tonight as the Three Lions faced off against Belgium in a friendly.

Selected by Gareth Southgate alongside Declan Rice, who captained the England for the first time on his 50th appearance, and Jude Bellingham, the 18-year-old was not phased by the magnitude of the moment in the slightest. If anything, he appeared to thrive in it.

Kobbie Mainoo has been awarded with the England Player of the Match… on his first start ever.

Meanwhile, Scott McTominay and Scotland were left frustrated by a stubborn Northern Ireland side who ran out 1-0 winners at Hampden Park.

It was the first win for Northern Ireland against Scotland since 1983 and the first in Glasgow in half a century.

The home side absolutely dominated the ball with a mammoth 83% possession but despite having more shots on goal, they rarely carved out any real chances of quality.

McTominay was involved early on in the proceedings as he drove at the Northern Ireland defence and was taken down by fellow United academy graduate, Paddy McNair.

However, he failed to impress with a rare opportunity from the free kick he won, as his effort cannoned back off the wall.

The rest of the half was relatively quiet for the United midfielder as he was frustrated by a disciplined Northern Irish back five.

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot played all 90 minutes for Portugal as they suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat against Slovenia in a friendly clash on Tuesday night.

The United full-back was very involved in proceedings, as evidenced by the number of touches he had of the ball – 94.

Dalot successfully found his Portugal teammates with 61 of the 71 passes he attempted and managed a pass completion rate of 86%.

Christian Eriksen had an impressive 45 minutes in the second half and had 1 assist in Denmark’s 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands. While Rasmus Hojlund played 14 minutes and did not leave much of an impression
