MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Amir Ibragimov earned praise from fans after a video of him playing for the Under-15's re-emerged on social media.
The 16-year-old is seen as one of the hottest prospects within United's academy.
But he impressed fans with his maturity during an Under-15's match last year.
While playing against Tottenham back in March 2022, Ibragimov was awarded a contentious penalty.
After driving into the box, he appeared to be tripped by a defender and was subsequently awarded a penalty.
However, upon closer inspection, he actually fell over himself without making contact with the Tottenham defender.

While several Spurs players appeared to protest the decision, Ibragimov quickly placed the ball on the penalty spot.
But instead of going for goal, he calmly passed it straight to the goalkeeper.
Had he scored, Man Utd would've likely won 3-2, but instead the game ended 2-2.
Following his classy penalty gesture, Ibragimov received heaps of praise on social media.
