Within days of being called up to play for the senior squad, Mainoo, an 18-year-old player, made his debut for the Three Lions team in their recent friendly game against Brazil, which unfortunately ended in a 1-0 loss.

The midfielder entered the game during the 75th minute, taking the place of Conor Gallagher. Even though England let in the deciding goal just a few minutes later, he left a positive impact.

He displayed remarkable calmness, successfully executing each of his 20 passes and fitting well into Gareth Southgate's midfield. This caused fans and experts to believe he might participate in Euro 2024.

Mainoo shared on Instagram how amazing it felt to play for England at Wembley and in front of their loved ones. It was their first time playing for the senior England team, adding to the excitement of the experience.

An experience that I will always remember. Currently, we are regaining our strength and concentrating again for Tuesday.

Mainoo has received an invitation due to his impressive performance at United for the past few months. The club captain Fernandes spoke highly of the teenager, and even wrote "First of many" in response to Mainoo's post.

Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, defenders from Manchester United and the English team, respectively, expressed their admiration for a player by saying "What a player" and acknowledging that they deserved it by saying "deserved mate."

Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice are expected to be starters for England, and many believe that Mainoo could be the key addition to Southgate's midfield.

The celebrity athlete from Arsenal responded to the message saying, 'There's going to be plenty more! Congratulations, my friend.'

Regarding the manager of the England soccer team, Southgate commented on Mainoo's brief appearance: "Kobbie had the opportunity to get a taste of the action."

We had to replace a few members of our team as we need to closely monitor their playing time. Even though it was an important game, it was an unusual situation we found ourselves in.

It was an amazing moment when Kobbie stepped onto the field, not just for him but also for his family. He managed to make a few impressive moves and showed great poise, which gives us a glimpse of the potential he has in store.

Mainoo is aiming to earn his second opportunity to play for England during their match against Belgium on Tuesday night. This game marks the last chance for Southgate to decide on the final 23 players who will represent England in the Euros.
