Bruno Fernandes lead the praise for Manchester United wonderkid Kobbie Mainoo after his impressive England debut.

Just days after his late call-up to the senior squad, 18-year-old Mainoo made his Three Lions bow in the 1-0 friendly loss to Brazil on Saturday night.

The midfielder came on in the 75th minute, replacing Conor Gallagher, and though England would go onto concede the decisive goal just minutes later, he made a great impression.

He showed great composure, completing all 20 of his passes, and slotted into Gareth Southgate’s midfield nicely, with many fans and pundits hopeful he’ll go to Euro 2024.

After the game, Mainoo posted on Instagram: ‘Special feeling making my senior England debut at Wembley and in front of my family.
‘A moment I will never forget. Now we bounce back and refocus for Tuesday.’

Mainoo’s call-up comes after a brilliant few months for United, with club captain Fernandes among those to hail the teenager, with the Portugal star replying to Mainoo’s post with: ‘First of many.’

United and England defenders Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire added: ‘What a player’ and ‘deserved mate.’

Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice are nailed on starters for England, and there is hope that Mainoo could be the missing piece in Southgate’s midfield.
