Manchester United’s midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been granted his first England national team call-up by head coach Gareth Southgate.
Previously named as a part of Lee Carsley’s U21 side, the 18-year-old midfielder will now team up with the rest of the squad at St George’s Park for the pending friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.
This deserved call-up comes after an impressive season with the Red devils and most recently a good outing against Liverpool in the FA cup quarter-final.
