MANCHESTER: Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is confident Kobbie Mainoo can cope with the hype of being proclaimed a rising star for club and country.
The 18-year-old won man-of-the-match on his first England start in Tuesday’s 2-2 draw against Belgium to put himself firmly in contention to be selected in Gareth Southgate’s squad for Euro 2024.Mainoo has also been a rare shining light this season for United, becoming a key member of Ten Hag’s midfield since making his first Premier League start in November.
“It’s great for the academy of Manchester United that they bring up a player so young going into the national team. That is a big compliment for the whole club.”A thrilling 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals prior to the international break has helped keep United’s season alive. A top four finish would guarantee a place in the Champions League, but fifth may also be good enough if English sides finish the season strongly in the European competitions.
