Manchester United legend Andy Cole is livid following the fresh injury of enterprising youngster Kobbie Mainoo on duties for the club in a friendly against Spanish giant Real Madrid.
The Treble-winner of 1999 with the Red Devils admitted he was upset to see the youngster have his night ruined, after such a show of faith by the boss.
“I’m devastated for him,” the ex-Reds striker told MUTV. “You know why I’m devastated? It was an opportunity for a young man to show his skills against someone like Luka Modric and, when he came off, you could see how bitterly disappointed he was because how many opportunities do you get to play against someone like Modric in midfield?
“I’m devastated for the young lad but he’s going to have plenty more fights to fight. Unfortunately, tonight wasn’t his night.”
The youngster has been playing very well for the club in this pre-season friendly games and started fancying his chances of getting more play time when the season starts.
