Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo reveals real reason he snubbed Ghana for EURO 2024 England

Manchester United's teenage sensation Kobbie Mainoo has opened up about his decision to pledge his international allegiance to England, despite being eligible to represent Ghana.

The 18-year-old midfielder, who has been turning heads with his impressive performances in United's youth setup, addressed the speculation surrounding his international future in a candid interview.

Born in Stockport to Ghanaian parents, Mainoo had been on the radar of both nations as they sought to secure his services at the international level. 

However, the highly-rated youngster has made his intentions clear, revealing his lifelong ambition to represent the Three Lions.

Mainoo's decision is a significant coup for England, who have secured the commitment of one of the brightest prospects in English football. 

His talent and potential have been evident from an early age, with Manchester United moving swiftly to secure his services.

Since joining United, Mainoo has continued to impress, featuring regularly for the club's under-18 and under-21 sides. 

His performances have not gone unnoticed, with first-team manager Erik ten Hag handing him his senior debut in a Premier League tie against Everton earlier this season.

While the allure of representing Ghana, the nation of his heritage, was undoubtedly strong, Mainoo's dream of donning the Three Lions jersey prevailed. 

His decision is a testament to his unwavering commitment to England, the country where he was born and raised.

As Mainoo continues to make strides in his burgeoning career, all eyes will be on his development, with England hopeful that he can fulfil his immense potential and become a key figure for the national team in the years to come.
