Manchester United defeated Luton Town 2-1 at Kenilworth Road in the Premier League on Sunday which moved them into the top four.
Rasmus Hojlund netted a brace to make it the sixth consecutive league game he scored and became the youngest player in the top flight to achieve such a feat.
While much of the attention was on the Danish forward, one player that stood out was Kobbie Mainoo.
The 18-year-old Anglo-Ghanaian midfielder continues to put in matured performances and Sunday’s game against Luton was no exception as he completed six successful dribbles which was more than all the United players on the pitch combined completed (5).

It was also the most completed dribble by a Man United player in the league since Paul Pogba attempted seven successful dribbles against Norwich City in April 2022.
It was Mainoo’s 11th competitive appearance in a United shirt, stretching back to the goalless draw with Liverpool at Anfield on December 17.
United have now won four league games in a row and Mainoo will look to inspire them to a fifth victory when they host Fulham on Saturday.
