Kobbie Mainoo MUST be in the next England squad, claims Ian Wright
Ian Wright has insisted Kobbie Mainoo must be in Gareth Southgate's next England squad for his impressive breakthrough at Manchester United.
Earlier this week, Mail Sport reported that the 18-year-old was keeping his international options open, with the starlet also eligible to represent Ghana.
But during Man United's game at Luton Town on Sunday, Wright said that Mainoo must be included in Southgate's England plans in March, as they continue preparations for Euro 2024 with friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.
Wright posted on X (formerly Twitter): 'Kobbie Mainoo has to be in the next England squad. Such maturity in chaotic conditions that we've not seen from a England player in a long time. Impressed every time I watch him.'
Mainoo will accept an England call-up, having already represented them at under 16, under 18 and under 19 level, but no definitive decision has been made on his international career.
England manager Southgate watched Mainoo’s 10th successive Premier League start for Man United in their 2-1 win at Aston Villa last week, and he continued that streak at Kenilworth Road on Sunday.
