Kobbie Mainoo called up to senior England squad

Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo has been called up to England's squad for their upcoming international matches against Brazil and Belgium.

Initially named in the under-21 squad for his first call-up at that level, Mainoo has now been promoted to the senior squad without any player being dropped.

A product of the Manchester United academy, Mainoo has previously represented England at under-17, under-18, and under-19 levels.

Born in Stockport, the teenage talent made his first start for Manchester United against Everton in November and has since made 19 appearances for the Red Devils.

England is set to face Brazil on Saturday and Belgium on March 26th, with both matches scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium.
