Kobbie Mainoo received a heartfelt message from Bruno Fernandes following his Manchester United teammate’s first-ever senior England call-up.

England supporters are ecstatic by Mainoo’s selection in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the forthcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, especially in light of Euro 2024. Although Mainoo’s exclusion from the group initially disappointed him, Southgate’s decision to include him was motivated by his strong performances, particularly in United’s FA Cup victory against Liverpool.

Fernandes, recognising Mainoo’s talent and dedication, took to Instagram to express his support and wrote: “Well deserved kid ❤️ @kobbie,” underscoring the sentiment shared by many in the football community.

Southgate’s decision marks a notable shift, as Mainoo was initially overlooked in favour of more seasoned players and was included in the U21s squad. The call-up has naturally elated Mainoo and the youngster admitted that the news has not “sunk in yet, but I’m excited.”

Mainoo will have a big chance to show off his abilities on the international front during his next tenure with the England team. He might make his debut in two friendlies on Tuesday against Belgium and Saturday against Brazil for England. He will return to Manchester United for their Premier League match against Brentford on March 30 after those friendlies.
