Manchester United teen Kobbie Mainoo admits he'd like to have played with Paul Scholes.

In a fans' Q&A, Mainoo was asked which ex-United player he'd like to have had as a teammate.

He said: "I'd say Paul Scholes.

"Although there might not be a lot defending between the two of us," he laughed. "But, yeah, Scholes. Scholes - definitely.

"[Because of] everything. His passing, his movement, the way he could finish. His intelligence. Yes, he was a great player."

On role models, Mainoo added: "I can't say that I have one. I like to pick different things from different people, whether it's football players, I pick different things from their games to try and add to mine and stuff.

"So I wouldn't say I follow one person directly, if you know what I mean? I just try to pick up things as much as I can from other people."
