Following an outstanding full England debut by Manchester United prodigy Kobbie Mainoo, football icon Gary Lineker joins a chorus of praise for the talented youngster.
Mainoo, who made a late appearance against Brazil, seized his opportunity from the start against Belgium, showcasing his exceptional skills.
Despite England’s inability to secure victory, Mainoo’s performance stood out as he seamlessly integrated into midfield alongside captain Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.
Lineker took to social media to express his admiration, hailing Mainoo’s impressive display.
He tweeted, “A superb first start by Kobbie Mainoo for @England. He’s not only played himself into the squad for the Euros but quite possibly the starting lineup. Well played young man,” accompanied by three clapping emojis.
Mainoo’s rapid ascent to prominence, considering his full Premier League debut for Manchester United just months ago, is remarkable.
Former England goalkeeper Rob Green, serving as co-commentator during the match, suggested Mainoo should forgo any summer vacations as he is likely to feature prominently in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Euros in Germany.
