Southgate reveals his plan for Mainoo
England manager Gareth Southgate was asked about Kobbie Mainoo today and the Manchester United wonderkid's chances of going to Euro 2024.
"I think Mainoo is doing brilliantly for a young player," Southgate told reporters in Paris following this evening's Nations League draw.
"He's had an excellent start for Manchester United. I'm not certain he's necessarily going to be a defensive midfielder, as such.
"He's quite a progressive player, but he's had a fabulous start to his career and it will be good to monitor him as we go forward."
