The English National Men’s Football team is closely monitoring the rising star, Kobbie Mainoo, whose roots trace back to Ghana.
At just 18 years old, Mainoo, currently affiliated with Manchester United, has garnered significant attention from England Manager Gareth Southgate and his staff, who are deliberating his potential inclusion in upcoming friendly matches.
According to insights from football transfer expert Graeme Bailey, Mainoo's exceptional performances have piqued the interest of the English national team.
The prospect of Mainoo joining the squad for the forthcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium in March is actively being considered by the English camp.
As England prepares for the Euros, having secured qualification, the team is gearing up to face Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia in Group C, following their narrow defeat to Italy in the 2020 Euros final.
Mainoo's standout contributions for Manchester United this season, including a decisive winning goal against Wolves in the English Premier League, have further elevated his standing.
His impactful debut goal in a 4-2 FA Cup triumph over Newport County has also contributed to his burgeoning reputation.
Despite his representation of England at youth levels, Mainoo retains eligibility to play for Ghana, a fact noted by Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member, Dr. Randy Abbey. Dr. Abbey expressed the GFA's interest in potential collaboration with the promising midfielder in the future.
Laryea Kingston, former Ghanaian midfielder, asserts that Asamoah Gyan remains discontented over the circumstances surrounding his removal as captain, replaced by Andre Ayew, during his tenure with the national team.
Gyan, the highest goal scorer in the country's history, had his captaincy revoked just before the commencement of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, prompting him to consider boycotting the tournament.
Following the event, Gyan, who recently retired from football, did not feature in any matches for the national team.
According to Kingston, Gyan, now 37, felt compelled to relinquish his leadership role to Ayew, and this incident has led to a decline in his affection for the Black Stars.
"Look at someone like Asamoah Gyan, Dede Ayew got the captaincy by force so if you are speaking to Asamoah now he is not happy,” Kingston revealed to Graphic Sport.
“Personally, after enduring similar treatment for many years, I harbored resentment towards the Black Stars. However, recently, I made peace with it and decided to focus forward.”
Since assuming the captaincy of the national team, Ayew has guided the Black Stars through two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and a World Cup campaign.
