Manchester United teenager Kobbie Mainoo has earned his first England call-up for their forthcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.
Mainoo is emerging as one of United’s brightest young stars in a breakthrough season for the 18-year-old.
Established in United’s central midfield after 20 impressive appearances this term, Mainoo has been rewarded with a promotion to the England squad as they build towards Euro 2024.
Mainoo moved into Gareth Southgate’s senior group having initially been named in the England Under-21 squad.
