Kobbie Mainoo was recognized as the standout player during his debut for England last night in their 2-2 match against Belgium. The Manchester United rookie has been highly acclaimed by former players and fellow teammates on the England squad. The 18-year-old received his debut start against Belgium after entering as a substitute in the match against Brazil on Saturday night. Mainoo was part of a midfield trio with Declan Rice leading the team and Jude Bellingham in a more attacking position. Mainoo stood out as exceptional even though Gareth Southgate’s team did not win the friendly match. Mainoo is on the verge of fulfilling Erik ten Hag’s promise for United. LUCKHURST: United’s victory over Liverpool was the highlight of my time in the press box. The young player’s composed and impressive display, along with his seamless integration with Rice and Bellingham, has prompted numerous fans to advocate for his inclusion in England’s Euro squad this summer. MEN Sport has examined the responses to Mainoo’s performance, including comments from Jude Bellingham. He performed well this evening. I understand the difficulty of dealing with noise and feeling pressured by others. I believe he is a talented player who will have a successful future at Manchester United and hopefully also represent England.
