Share

The Football Association holds a belief that Manchester United’s young talent Kobbie Mainoo is likely to choose England over Ghana for international representation.

Mainoo gained prominence on Sunday as he made his full senior debut in Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Everton.

The teenager showcased an impressive performance before being substituted in the 72nd minute, with United holding a 2-0 lead.

Born in Stockport, Mainoo has previously represented England at junior levels, including up to the Under-19s, but is eligible to play for Ghana.

Sources near the national team’s headquarters in Burton express confidence that Mainoo intends to continue on England’s development pathway.

The player has not given any indication that would lead the Football Association to be concerned about the possibility of him choosing to play for Ghana in the long run.

The midfielder has established himself as a fixture at St George’s Park in recent years, leaving technical staff confident about his desire for an international career with England.

Mainoo has caught the eye of coaches at England’s training facility, showcasing not just his ability but also his strong work ethic.

Colleagues at St George’s describe him as ‘extremely professional, highly focused, and hassle-free,’ leading many to advocate for his accelerated progression into the Under-21s system.
