The Ghana Football Association (FA) is actively seeking to secure the commitment of Manchester United’s promising talent, Kobbie Mainoo, for international representation. Despite having featured for England in various youth categories, the 18-year-old midfielder, eligible to play for Ghana through his parents’ heritage, is yet to make a senior appearance for any national team.
Randy Abbey, a member of the Ghana FA’s executive council, expressed the association’s keen interest in attracting talents like Mainoo, emphasizing the importance of nurturing exceptional players for their various national teams. England manager Gareth Southgate has reportedly aimed to discuss the player’s international future, highlighting the Three Lions’ desire to retain Mainoo’s services. The promising midfielder, who made his first-team breakthrough with Manchester United in November, has already made a significant impact with 15 appearances across all competitions.
Recently, Mainoo scored the decisive goal in Manchester United’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Wolves, showcasing his potential to be a key contributor. Reflecting on his breakthrough, Mainoo expressed his delight and eagerness to contribute further to the team’s success. As discussions about his international allegiance continue, both Ghana and England are vying for the commitment of this emerging football talent.
