Man United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been handed a first England call-up ahead of their friendlies with Brazil and Belgium.
The youngster, who starred in United's 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, was initially scheduled to join the England Under-21 squad over this current international break. However, the Football Association has announced he will now team up with the seniors.
Mainoo, who also qualifies to play for Ghana, has previously represented England at Under-17 and Under-19 level, meaning he has completely bypassed the Under-21s. There has been an increasing clamour for him to be selected by boss Gareth Southgate amid his impressive performances for United this season.
He said: "I think that he's doing brilliantly for a young player and we're never slow to put a young player into seniors. But he's only had a handful of games and you have to be very careful development-wise in making those decisions at the right time.
