I played against Kobbie Mainoo on his full Man Utd debut and one thing stood out

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford believes Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo's maturity on the ball has stood out the most as he prepares to potentially make his England debut this week.

The occasion did not overwhelm Mainoo though and he has since moved from strength to strength becoming an undroppable for Erik ten Hag in the process. Earlier this week, Gareth Southgate made the late decision to pick the 18-year-old for the upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.READ MORE: United are at last going to see their dream midfield in action

He told talkSPORT: "I think he made his full debut against us at Goodison Park. I remember the manager mentioning that they had the young lad playing centre-mid. "I have only trained with him for a day but in his performances for Man United he looks so calm on the ball and he plays with such maturity." Mainoo will be hoping he can impress Southgate enough in the next few days to earn a call-up to the England squad for this summer's European Championships in Germany.
