The goals from Garnacho and Mainoo were similar to those of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2004, when the youngster scored against Millwall in the FA Cup final.

With Manchester United, Mainoo had an incredible 2023–24 season. He participated in 35 games in all competitions, notching five goals and dishing out three assists. He was included in Gareth Southgate's initial 33-man England squad for Euro 2024 as a result of his performances.
