Last night at Euro 2024, Manchester United’s wonderkid Kobbie Mainoo gave an outstanding performance against Slovenia in the second half.

In yesterday’s last group stage match, the 19-year-old came off the bench to replace Conor Gallagher at halftime.

With 41 touches and a 97% passing accuracy, Mainoo left a positive impression. Gallagher, on the other hand, only had 24 touches and completed 85% of his passes.

The Red Devils alumnus also recovered four balls and won all 100 of his tackles. Our opinion is that Mainoo ought to start in the starting lineup for the matchup in the round of 16.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was a midfield experiment for manager Gareth Southgate in the first two games, but his poor ball control cost Liverpool possession.

After starting the first two games off the bench, Gallagher took Arnold’s place in the starting lineup. The lackluster performance of the Chelsea star should allow Mainoo to onto the field.

Despite finishing first in Group C, England’s performance was incredibly disappointing as they only managed two goals. They can lose in the knockout stage to a football team playing a similar style.

England is the favorite to get to another final because their opponents are Portugal, Spain, France, and Germany; however, they will need to work on creating more opportunities in the future.
