KOBBIE MAINOO celebrated Manchester United’s shock FA Cup final success in a bucket hat – thanks to a little help from a Red Devils fan.
United shocked footie fans around the world last Saturday by ending Manchester City’s hopes of a domestic double with a 2-1 win at Wembley.
Mainoo fired the Red Devils into a 2-0 lead in the 39th minute with a neat finish following a sensational no-look assist from Bruno Fernandes.
The teenager was proud as punch after the final whistle and went over to celebrate with the travelling Old Trafford faithful.
Mainoo then asked one of the fans if he could pinch their bucket hat, which he ended up donning for the majority of the celebrations.
And the Red Devils fan had no issue giving United’s burgeoning midfield star his sunwear.
