Alan Shearer has hailed Kobbie Mainoo 's standout performance in the FA Cup final, suggesting it could secure him a place in England's starting line-up for Euro 2024.
Having been included in the preliminary 33-man squad for Euro 2024 last week, Mainoo's prowess has not gone unnoticed. With England's midfield still up for debate, Newcastle United icon Shearer is convinced that Mainoo's Wembley heroics have made a compelling case for Gareth Southgate to hand him a starting berth, despite the teenager's relative inexperience at senior international level.
With the Euros on the horizon, Southgate faces a tactical conundrum: whether to position Phil Foden in a more advanced midfield role or to partner Mainoo with Declan Rice in a double pivot, pushing Jude Bellingham further forward. Gary Lineker weighed in on Mainoo's swift ascent, expressing a more measured view of the young star's prospects for England, yet he couldn't hide his admiration for the United academy product. "The sky's the limit, I think," he remarked.
