MANCHESTER UNITED fans have gone into meltdown after seeing Kobbie Mainoo in England training.
The Three Lions midfielder showed off his skills in preparation for Sunday’s last 16 clash with Slovakia.
Footage from the session showed Mainoo in possession during a small-sided game.
Under pressure from Liverpool’s Joe Gomez, the teenager remained composed before flicking the ball backwards through his team-mates legs.
Mainoo followed up the skill by tapping in from close range later in the clip.
United fans were quick to react to the video on social media as they hailed their young midfielder.

Slovakia Euro 2024 guide
SLOVAKIA qualified automatically as runners-up behind Portugal and boast a decent spread of high-profile names in the squad.
This will be their third European Championship and they have a surprisingly good record of making it to tournament knockout stages.
MANAGER: Francesco Calzona
The only Euro 2024 manager to come into the tournament off the back of a dual role. He was Napoli’s interim boss from February to the end of the season.
STAR MAN: Martin Dubravka

How Slovakia attack
Slovakia are not particularly interested in retaining possession and will look to get the ball forward quickly.
They are very keen to play out wide and create chances from crosses.
How Slovakia defend
Slovakia play a medium block and do not typically press high, but nor do they form a compact and structured defensive shape.
This can lead to plenty of gaps for an opposition that is able to move the ball quickly.
