Former Liverpool player Steve McManaman talked up Rio Ngumoha but warned against getting carried away with his lofty potential.

Ngumoha made a high-profile move from Chelsea to Liverpool aged just 15 last summer and made his senior debut for the Reds just four months after his 16th birthday, starting in the FA Cup third round against Accrington Stanley.

The youngster recently came up against former club Chelsea as Liverpool's Under-18s mounted a dramatic late comeback to win 3-2 in the U18 Premier League Cup, scoring a fine equalizer late in the game.

“He scored a nice goal against Chelsea the other day, of course that was his old team, so I don’t know whether he (Ngumoha) felt he had a point to prove," McManaman said on the Aldo Meets Podcast.

"Funnily enough, I saw him on Friday, as I said, and I said to him, 'You know, don’t let yourself get carried away' - because of the story, because of what happened with the transfer coming into Liverpool, and there was still a little bit of bad blood there, and his family wants them to do well.

We brought Ben Doak down and he was the little skilful dribbler, and he’s going to be a great player, and he’s doing really well at Middlesbrough.

“He (Ngumoha) is only 16 and you can’t get carried away with him

You're loath to get carried away with the kids, because you know what can easily happen so let's hope they can keep progressing and hopefully be in the first team in the future."
