Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham praised Kobbie Mainoo, the 18-year-old Manchester United midfielder, after England’s 2-2 draw with Belgium last Tuesday in a friendly at Wembley. .
“Kobbie Mainoo is great. I know how difficult it can be when there is an outcry and people put a lot of pressure on you, but he is definitely a brilliant player. He has an incredible future ahead of him at Manchester United and hopefully in England too.” , said after the game.
Mainoo came on during the second half against Brazil and made his debut as a starter for the England team against Belgium. On that occasion, he was voted the best player of the match. He started the play from the penalty conceded by Ivan Toney, which resulted in the team’s first goal in the friendly.
